![]() ![]() You have a meter that displays how close enemies are to you and, if they have seen you at some point, how aware they are of your presence. Those cut-scenes got almost as annoying as the end-chapter preview clips in which a man screams dramatically about the events of the next chapter.Īs for the sneaking in this game, it's actually not all that bad. Each mission also starts with a cut-scene that consists of concept art being flashed before a camera while a man dramatically narrates bits of lore with acoustic music in the background. The story instead started to revolve more around Rin and Ayame doing various missions and occasionally meeting, which was a shame, since they were the only characters I couldn't stand Rin due to the script and voice that made her sound like a 16 year old American girl demanding a new car from her father and Ayame because I had no idea what she was doing in the plot. Maybe the game assumes I have played some of the other Tenchu games, but upon picking this up at the store, I had assumed it was the first of the series or at the very least a self-contained story, as the title contained no numbers. Most of the people the game introduced in the first mission disappeared from the plot entirely and I learned pretty much nothing about the few that remained. The plot however derailed very soon after, as it got stuck in various random side-missions instead of developing the cast of characters. It's a very simple revenge plot, but I initially believed it had some great potential, as the game showed us that the person she chases is not responsible at all, and it was instead the doing of another organization. Rin loses a battle against the ninja, known as Ayame, and then swears an oath of vengeance. She instantly fights her way to the center of the village where we witness another ninja arriving at the scene to find the elder dead, unfortunately Rin arrives at that moment and blames her for the crime. The story kicks off with Rin, a female ninja, discovering that some assholes burned down her village and killed everyone she knows. I used to play Tenchu as a kid, however, so I had assumed this one would at least be able to entertain me. Since the store hadn't stocked up on new releases and most decent games were nowhere to be found, I had to spend all of that money on PS2 games, which I've since then being tearing a new asshole one by one. Recently my favorite game store closed, which meant I suddenly had to spend 53 euros of in-store credit. Story never explains who anybody is and is too busy being pretentious to go into any depth. Pulling off fancy-looking assassinations is easy as long as you stay hidden.Ĭontrols feels very stiff and constricting, which leads to unfair situations. Levels allow for some exploration and reward doing so with hidden items. Revenge story is simple, but pretty enjoyable.ĭialogue seems to be written for an anime, which I found to be entertaining. ![]()
