The premise of this game is so intruiging. You play a female ninja warrior tasked with sabotaging the baddies’ building. You start of on a hang-glider, flying over the building. You choose when to jump off, and then work your way from the roof to the basement, through a veritable maze of ladders & lifts. You are given multiple missions to execute, stuff like collect a computer tape, or destroy the android.
All the while, you have to contend with baddies accompanied by panthers, using Ninja moves and shurikens. There are several Ninja-type weapons strewn throughout the building, which have to be collected and used. Once the mission is done, reach the basement and a motorcycle awaits our heroine, who then rides it to smash through a fence and escape.
Rinse and repeat, for the next mission.
The premise is excellent, but what makes this game is the outstanding artwork and graphics. The gameplay is reminiscent of Prince of Persia, though this game likely predates PoP by a few years. The downside is the slow and jerky movement of the characters. The controls are not very responsive, which is probably because the graphics are as good as they are. Another irritant is that there are myriad set of keys to be used for different actions, for example, there are different keys to be used on the glider, the motorbike, and while fighting.
Still, the game provides hours of entertainment to explore the building and contend with the many, many baddies. Top notch stuff.
