Game Description
Battle an ancient clan as a one-man ninja army in this reborn classic told in an electric hand-drawn art style. Set before the dawn of the original franchise, this continuation of the fan-favorite SEGA ninja adventure tells the story of Oboro clan leader Jiro Musashi. Jiro is the father of Joe Musashi, the ninja who battled his way through the original Shinobi. In true like-father-like-son fashion, Jiro will become a ninja legend by hacking and slashing his way to martial-arts mastery. Mix combos built around ninja magic, acrobatic, ranged, and melee attacks in classic side-scrolling play. Unlock achievements and new maps as you pile up points to increase your ranking.
