An amazing game, but quite complicated. Tecmo's proposal to insert cutscenes makes the game's story very engaging. The villains have a very interesting look. The gameplay is fluid and fast-paced. You are Ryu Hayabusa and the game requires of you all the skill and speed that a ninja must have to overcome enemies that 'respawn' all the time if you move a millimeter the wrong way.

The last act of this game requires hours of practice to overcome. The game is punishing and throws you to the beginning of the act if you die in any of the final bosses. Despite the difficulty, it's a must-play because it teaches you how complicated it was to finish games back then.
