The Last Ninja contains a blend of exploration, puzzle solving, and combat. The object of the game is to guide the ninja protagonist Armakuni on his journey to the palace of the evil shogun Kunitoki to assassinate him, avenge his clan, and retrieve the sacred scrolls. As the player progresses, Kunitoki’s henchmen become more challenging as they learn the ways of the ninja.
Brotherhood. Survival. Revenge.
The evil Shogun Kunitoki and his henchmen have slaughtered the entire Brotherhood of the White Ninja.
You alone survive.
The Shogun has taken possession of the Ninja Palace of Lin Fen and the sacred scrolls containing the ancient secrets of the Ninja.
Only you–the Last Ninja–can avenge the Brotherhood and recapture the secrets of the Ninja.
You must use all your fighting skills. Samurai warriors, masters of the martial arts, and the Shogun’s guards lurk at every turn, ready to test their hand-to-hand combat skills against yours.
