DESCRIPTION

The Shogun Kunitoki and his Ashikaga Clan have slaughtered your entire brotherhood, the Mystic Shadow Warriors. They did this because they were jealous of your brotherhood's skills and mental prowess. This slaughter occurred during the once-in-a-decade pilgrimage to the Island of Lin Fen. At the island is where homage is paid to the Shrine of the White Ninja.

You happened to avoid death because you were left behind to guard the Bunkinkan Shrine. When word of the disaster reaches you there is only one thing that you can do, seek revenge! The enemy still remains on the island, destroying all that you view as sacred. Alone, you must journey to the island and kill the Shogun Kunitoki and his clan.

The island is made up of six regions: The Wastelands, The Wilderness, The Palace Gardens, The Dungeons, The Palace, and The Inner Sanctum. On the screen is a window to view the action. Along the right side players can see the current enemy's health, weapons in use, and object being held. Across the bottom of the screen is your health, number of lives, and weapons in your possession. While exploring the island a number of items can be found and some of them must be found: a pouch, key, numchukas, sword, apples, smoke bombs, claw, glove, staff, shuriken stars, amulet, flower, rope, bottle, and scrolls. ~ Jonathan Sutyak, All Game Guide
