TurtleBlaze – Fighting through KUNAIβs visually enrapturing world is a warriorβs delight, where right off the bat players have ample opportunities to reduce enemies to scrap metal while swinging on ropes across chasms, dashing up walls to lofty goals, and dropping in on unsuspecting targets.

Bursts of action pop boldly across KUNAIβs distinct art direction with sharp splashes of colour accentuating attacks, making each battle an engrossing, thrilling spectacle.
