Tenchu: Dark Secret
📖 介紹
Stealth assassination on Nintendo DS with touch-screen controls. Guide Rikimaru and Ayame through a mysterious plague conspiracy in this FromSoftware classic.
Tenchu: Dark Secret is a DS-exclusive entry in the acclaimed Tenchu stealth series, developed by FromSoftware. Released in 2006, it adapts the franchise's signature ninja assassination gameplay for portable play while preserving the series' core tension and precision.
The game leverages the Nintendo DS's dual screens, using the touch screen for item selection, environmental interaction, and the innovative 'Killing Touch' system—where precise gestures execute stealth takedowns for bonus rewards. Players choose between two campaigns: Rikimaru's direct assassination approach and Ayame's infiltration-focused style, each with unique mission objectives.
Set in a remote mountain region, the story follows Rikimaru and Ayame as they investigate a mysterious plague intertwined with political conspiracy. The narrative unfolds across carefully designed stealth levels, encouraging players to observe patterns, use distractions, and strike from the shadows.
Dark Secret remains notable for successfully translating the Tenchu experience to a handheld format, introducing touch-based mechanics that complement rather than replace the series' strategic depth. Its local wireless multiplayer—featuring ninja versus guard gameplay—adds replay value, making it a standout stealth title for DS owners.
