Pocket Trap and Modus Games have today announced that Ninjin: Clash of Carrots, a chaotic side-scrolling game full of fast-paced combat, is coming to Switch.

Set on a fantasy continent inspired by the Japanese Feudal era, Ninjin: Clash of Carrots aims to lighten up the beat-’em-up genre with a pleasing dose of comedy, throwing in a healthy side of customisation options for good measure. Players must battle through side-scrolling worlds as Ninjin, a charismatic bunny, or Akai, a ninja fox, to recover your village’s stolen carrots. The horror!

You'll be taking down numerous enemies and bosses, collecting carrots along the way which can be spent to purchase new equipment, special weapons, tons of masks and other items. You can also choose from a wide variety of equipment, suiting and booting your character to better defeat your opponents. The game's official feature list is a pretty hefty one, so we'll let that do the talking from here on out:
