Was this a good underrated game?
>>728995202Boring stiff mess.
>>728995202I liked some of it. I remember it was one of the few games with a fun mission of 'follow the target'.But I got filtered fucking hard with the mandatory boss fight on the ship
>>728995202I quite liked it, but then I also liked all the other Tenchu games so just taking that and adding some fun character customization/skills and co-op was nice. It struck me as a bit interesting that there's no supernatural bullshit in the game at all, I guess Rikimaru handles the floating ghost heads with the cursed soul eating blade himself.
>>728995202Compared to this garbage it was a masterpiece and less of a betrayal to the series direction.
It was a fantastic game and should be replicated. A game like it doesn't need much more than 'complete missions, earn stuff to make your ninja cooler'
If you don't mind jank and you like the tenchu series i suggest playing Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief. It may have fell under the radar for some of you but it was a ps2 game that never got localized into English or even released in the west until 2022. And i believe you should buy it on steam sale right now because it is at an 80% discount and that is very rare. Aquire/NIS were stingy with the discounts for a long time. I bought it at a 50% discount and that was a hard pill to swallow for an old ps2 game like this, but now the price is good so make use of it. Also make sure to get around to playing Shinbido Way of the Ninja or Aragami if you haven't played many similar titles. You'll have to emulate Shinbido.
