The Mysterious Murasame Castle

Restore peace to a land overwhelmed by evil! On a stormy night in feudal Japan, a mysterious force begins to take control of Murasame Castle and its lands. Each lord in four neighboring castles has taken possession of a dark sphere of power that allows them to summon ninja armies and monsters to wreak havoc in the villages. Takamaru, a brave and young samurai apprentice, has been sent out to investigate. He must infiltrate all four castles and defeat the lords before making his way to Murasame Castle. Use sword and shuriken attacks against the swarms of enemies and unravel the mystery of the source of evil. The game was initially released exclusively for the Famicom in Japan, but came to the rest of the world for the first time in 2013 as part of the 3DS virtual console, as well as in 2023 for Nintendo Switch Online.
