Game Play

Kage, the heroic ninja, can do it all...climb trees, leap, sword-fighting, hurl shuriken, and even gain limited magical powers by obtaining randomly-appearing crystal balls. Follow him through forests, up fortress walls, and over farmed fields while he slashes his way through common ninja, samurai, foot soldiers, and yes...even wolves. Finally, he encounters the stage bosses from Asian mythology (and martial arts films) with characters ranging from extremely skilled master ninja to the fire-breathing "Twin White Monks", as well as other magical opponents.
