About Wrath of the Black Manta

Wrath of the Black Manta is a side scrolling action game structured across five distinct stages. The player controls the title character, a ninja operating in a crime ridden New York City where numerous children have gone missing.

His mission involves both rescuing the abducted children and confronting the criminal organization responsible. Gameplay requires navigating each level while gathering clues that can reveal objectives or secret areas. Enemies encountered are often heavily armed, making the action challenging.

To aid in this task, Black Manta can obtain special abilities beyond his standard ninja techniques, such as becoming invisible or teleporting. Some defeated foes may also provide useful information if the player is able to subdue them for interrogation.
