The Nakatomi company is searching for the pieces of the Akujiki sword, shattered by Hotsuma in the predecessor, Shinobi. Luckily, the Oboro ninja clan has since reformed. As Hibana, kunoichi (female ninja) of the Oboro clan, you are charged with the task of finding the pieces of the Akujiki before Nakatomi does.

As a rift reopens between this world and the realms of evil, the svelte and stealthy Hibana must battle demons from beyond to save the people of Tokyo. The heroine's ninja skills are matched with a deep understanding of the mystic arts, making her the last, best hope to keep the city safe and the evil contained.

While Nightshade's gameplay is similar to that of Sega's 2002 version of Shinobi (also developed by OverWorks), the kunoichi Hibana may perform a number of new special attacks never known to her male counterpart. Shadow dancing, she defeats powerful foes with flashy finesse. An enhanced "Tate" system allows unlimited combos, and filling her "Chakra Gauge" allows Hibana to perform powerful ninja magic.

Features:
Battle legions of Hellspawn throughout Tokyo
Use powerful Ninja Magic to destroy evil
Pull off mid-air maneuvers while fighting on jets, trucks, and more

  MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

Crush evil with powerful Ninja Magic
Execute devastating mid-air assaults and defense maneuvers
