Shinobi

Story

The game consists of eight levels, each divided into two sections with boss enemies. The controls allow you to run, attack, jump and throw shurikens. A lock-on function is also available. The game also has a few hidden features, such as holding attack while holding to perform a charge attack, double jump and throw shuriken to perform a shuriken burst, and a stun kick by pressing down and attacking while holding. The main aim of the levels is to kill. There are no items to fetch, but the ninjutsu scrolls are very useful, and in some levels Hotsuma has to break stone pillars to progress. Shinobi also contains combo functions. When enemies are killed in a chain, a cutscene will play, killing all enemies at once and leaving more yin for your blade. When Hotsuma kills with his cursed blade "Akujiki", the sword changes color to multiply the damage.
