Carefully approaching of your enemies from behind is crucial, because your character isn't very capable in direct combat.
A huge difference in comparison to Tenchu is, that the game is widely non-linear, which means that you can choose the missions you want to participate in at almost any given time.
There are three landlords for whom you can accept missions.
Depending on your choices the trust of each landlord in you increases or decreases.
The game allows you to use alchemy, by which you can create your own equipment like strength potions and smoke bombs.
Shinobido also gives you your own hideout, around which you can place decoration like various trees as well as traps to strike back invading enemies.
The story takes place in the Japanese province of Utakata in the 16th century.
You take on the role of the ninja Goh, the sole survivor of the Azuka Clan, who finds himself unconsciously lying near a river having completely lost his memory.
After finding a magical stone containing tiny fragments of the events that took place before his awakening, he decides that the only way to find out more about his past is to localize the remaining stones.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Shinobido: Way of the Ninja for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Shinobido: Way of the Ninja to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2005.
