故事讲述了一个来自村庄的忍者预言“西方英雄”将把他们从魔王手中拯救出来的故事。

The Messenger is a retro action-platformer indie video game developed by the Quebec-based video game studio Sabotage and published by Devolver Digital. It was released on Windows through Steam and on Nintendo Switch on August 30, 2018.
The game presents itself as a simple tribute to 8-bit retro action-platformer in which the player controls a Ninja-like warrior sent on an important mission to deliver a magical scroll atop a distant eastern Mountain. During his adventures, the ninja will unlock new abilities like climbing walls, throwing magical shurikens, gliding and a Rope Dart. The game also uses a mechanic called "Cloudstepping" (gaining additional height from enemies while killing them). At some point in the game, the player unlocks the power to travel into the future effectively transforming the game into a 16-bit era metroidvania game, where new paths unlocks through the finding of secret passages and artifacts.
