About Return of The Ninja

Return of The Ninja is set in Japan as a side scrolling platformer. Its story begins with the characters Tsukikage and Saiyuri finding their village destroyed by fire, prompting a mission of vengeance against the attackers.

Players control one of these two ninja characters using the D pad for movement, with the A and B buttons assigned to jumping and attacking. While their fundamental moves are identical, their attack animations are visually distinct. Success requires navigating environmental dangers like fire in addition to confronting enemies directly.

The gameplay incorporates stealth elements and necessitates the collection of various ninja tools to complete the quest. The objective is to halt the assault on the village and avenge fallen friends.
