Dive into the thrilling world of Shadow Ninja, a side-scrolling action game with a captivating dark art style. In this game, you step into the shoes of Shimazu, a samurai on a quest for revenge. Ten years ago, Shimazu's son was kidnapped, and his wife was brutally murdered by the evil demon Takeda, with assistance from another demon named Fudo. After sealing Takeda away for the past decade, Shimazu's mission is clear: to rescue his son and exact his revenge. Success in Shadow Ninja demands strategic thinking, memorization skills, and a keen focus on avoiding traps scattered throughout the game.
Skills and Upgrades
To enhance your gameplay, you can upgrade Shimazu using coins and diamonds collected during your adventure. Here are the key skills at your disposal:
- Dash: Perfect for close combat, this skill allows you to eliminate a target in one swift move. However, it's not effective for long-range attacks.
- Disappearing: This skill grants you the ability to remain unseen, allowing you to launch surprise attacks on your enemies without them knowing where the threat is coming from.
- Throw Shuriken: While it may not eliminate an enemy on the first throw, you can use this skill to attack foes from a distance. It typically requires one or two more throws to be effective.
Checkpoints
Checkpoints in Shadow Ninja are fixed but offer you the flexibility to place a new checkpoint at your current position. This feature becomes available after progressing through several levels, providing crucial restart points during your journey.
