Played from a third-person perspective, you must stop your foes at all costs.

As alluded to earlier, monsters (such as goblins) are out for your blood - even fellow ninjas who've turned to the dark side will meet you with resistance. The goal in each is to survive, which is often easier said than done. There are four different worlds broken into 11 distinctive levels - Kurosawa will travel throughout cemeteries, rocky mountain terrain, coastal areas, deep and dark forests, etc. And he'll need it - the world has been cast into utter darkness in which monsters and creatures from the beyond roam. Unlike many ninjas before him, he is able to summon powers of the arcane magical spells that do great damage to those cast upon. In NINJA: Shadow of Darkness, players assume the role of Kurosawa, a young but powerful ninja.
