Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief - Nintendo Switch

Buy Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief in Australia

Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief is a stealth-action adventure set in the streets of Edo-period Japan, developed and originally released by Acquire — the same Japanese studio behind the classic ninja stealth series Tenchu. This remastered edition brings Acquire's 2006 PlayStation 2 cult classic to Nintendo Switch for the first time in the West, giving stealth fans a chance to experience a slice of Japanese gaming history that never made it overseas until now.

You play as Ebizo, an honourable thief who long ago walked away from a life of crime after a heist turned violent. A decade on, when his adopted daughter Suzuna falls seriously ill and needs medicine he cannot afford, Ebizo is forced back into the shadows. The game blends stealthy infiltration, pickpocketing and thievery mechanics with branching, choice-driven storylines that ask whether it's possible to remain honourable while breaking the law.

A Cult Classic Reborn on Switch

Originally released in Japan in 2006, Kamiwaza never received a Western release until this remaster launched in October 2022 on Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC. For collectors and stealth-genre fans, this physical Switch release is a rare chance to own a piece of Acquire's stealth pedigree — the same design lineage that produced the beloved Tenchu games.

Stealth, Choice and Consequence

Rather than punishing every mistake with a game over, Kamiwaza gives players a flexible approach to sneaking, distracting and outsmarting guards while building a reputation as a master thief. Branching storylines respond to your choices, so how you balance crime against honour shapes the journey of Ebizo and Suzuna right through to the end.
