Shien's Revenge Overview
Shien's Revenge is a first-person shooter where the player controls the ninja Shien. The game's perspective and on-rails movement, which automatically scrolls through areas, are reminiscent of titles like Operation Wolf.
The narrative context involves Shien's partner Aska being abducted by monsters during a civil war, requiring a rescue mission. Gameplay focuses on targeting various ninjas and creatures using a dagger for close combat and shuriken for ranged attacks. Defeated foes may leave power-ups, such as rapid fire capability or scrolls that unleash a full-screen attack.
Player health is represented by a set of candles. Progress is structured around distinct areas, each culminating in a confrontation with a boss enemy that possesses its own life meter.
