Game Description
The shadowy world of Ninja combat finally reaches the Xbox with Tenchu: Return from Darkness, a greatly expanded port of the PS2 "Wrath of Heaven" title released in 2003. Your master, Lord Gohda, calls on you again to save 16th Century Japan by stopping the evil armies of Lord Tenrai.
