Tenchu: Dark Shadow ready for European debut

Princess Shizuhime of your clan, the Azuma Shinobi Ryu, has been kidnapped and a curse has been placed on her, and it’s now up to you to rescue her from the clutches of the enemy. Featuring the DS incarnation of one of the most popular ninja stealth games in the market, Tenchu: Dark Secret (or Tenchu: Dark Shadow, as it is known in Japan), is sharpening its blades for its European release which is slated for November 24. It will be retailed for 30.

For those who are familiar with other games from the Tenchu series, our heroes in this version of the game will consist of Rikimaru and Ayame who is known for her appearances in Tenchu: Fatal Shadows for the PS2. As with the previous games, players are expected to lay down brute force and instead use discretion and careful observation to mow down enemies, one or two at a time. Attack from the shadows and use ninja techniques to conceal yourself. As an addition though, players can now gather items and assemble traps which they can set in the path on unwary guards, that is, once you’ve figured out their routes.

Developed by FromSoftware, this game features almost 40 levels to complete. Tenchu: Dark Secret also makes use of the DS’ two screens as well as its Wi-Fi capability where players can buy and sell items from each other or from anyone else on the network.
