Game Synopsis
©NCSX»
Travel back to old Edo-era Japan and take on the
role of a ninja warrior who runs through isometric
stages and contends with demons, the elements,
puzzles, and more in an action-packed quest to
rescue a princess. At the outset of the game, the
ninja and the princess are shown together on a
rooftop but a winged demon swoops in and snatches
her away into the darkness of the night. Since the
hero is a versatile and mighty ninja, he has a gang
of faintly-outlined shadow ninjas (from the past, no
less) who trail him and may be used to step on
switches to trigger stairways, attack roving enemies, destroy objects, fire
cannons, and perform other menial tasks. The PSP
analog nub or d-pad can be used to control the ninja
but the nub is preferable since the movement of the
ninja is smoother with the nub. The face buttons
control the ninja's attacks, switch triggering, mode
toggling, and special moves.
Game modes include "Story Mode," "Mission Mode," and "Wireless."
The Option menu allows players to check out 19 BGM
selections and adjust SE and BGM volumes. A
configure menu allows gamers to do button mapping
duties and a "Tutorial Mode" teaches gamers the ways
of the play mechanics. We recommend checking the
tutorial out since some elements of the game aren't
readily apparent based on our
testing this morning. For example, it's possible to
summon little statues onto the playfield which drop
onto switches in order to trigger them. The ninja
can also perform a special billowing flame attack
which destroys everything in its path. Each stage
enforces a 1-minute time limit but multiple attempts
are possible with each subsequent try aided by more
and more shadow ninja cohorts.
