Ninja Gaiden Overview
Ninja Gaiden is a side scrolling action game where the player controls Ryu Hayabusa, a ninja who can run, jump, and use a sword. His movement includes the ability to cling to walls. Various power ups found in the environments grant additional abilities, such as throwing projectiles.
The narrative is advanced through cinematic scenes, some of which fill the screen. The story opens with Ryu's father being killed in a duel, prompting Ryu to travel to America to investigate. His search leads him into a challenging conflict against a supernatural conspiracy centered on ancient relics and a villain named Jaquio.
Gameplay progresses through diverse locations including cities, natural landscapes, and castle interiors. The journey ties together urban settings, underground areas, and ancient structures as Ryu pursues his objectives.
