Gameplay
In Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, we watch the action from the side. We go through various locations, including the hero's burnt village, a sandy desert, and a military base. We jump on platforms and avoid traps and terrain obstacles, as well as eliminate hordes of enemies.
During dynamic battles, Musashi primarily uses a katana called Oborozuki and kunai blades. He also relies on his martial arts skills - ninja and ninpo. We must demonstrate agility and reflexes in the game, avoiding enemy attacks and linking our moves into effective combinations.
As we progress, we collect amulets that allow us to improve Musashi's abilities. Additionally, along the way, we acquire tools that give us access to new paths.
Graphics
The graphic design of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is maintained in a cartoon style.
