Medieval Japan. An evil daimyo lord has stolen treasures of the Imperial family and hidden them in his castle in an attempt to seize power. As a young shinobi apprentice you've decided to sneak into the castle, recover the treasures and return them to their rightful owners in an attempt to bring prominence to your clan. However, a member of a competing clan has also discovered daimyo's scheme and is on the same mission as you. Do whatever it takes to be the first to recover stolen items and bring honor to your clan.

Gameplay

You control one of the two shinobis competing to recover the treasures and escape the castle.

You will need to:

• thoroughly search the castle to locate and collect all items

• hinder your opponent's efforts by setting up tricks and obstacles

• if necessary, challenge your opponent in a direct fight

Use all of your shinobi training to accomplish the mission:

• ninja's tools: locks and smoke bombs

• powerful spirits you can summon to guard items and passages

• defensive remedies to break tricks set up by your opponent

• martial arts if a direct confrontation becomes inevitable

Play against the CPU or another player, over split-screen or network.
