Story

An elite group of three young Ninja Commandos (Joe Tiger, an American descendant of the Kōga-ryū ninja whose weapons are shuriken , Ryu Eagle, the 23rd descendant of the famous ninja Fūma Kotarō (from the World Heroes series), who is using ninja magic fireballs in combat, and Rayar Dragon, the female ninja of the group, a British girl who has learned the ways of the Iga-ryū ninjutsu and whose weapon is a bow with flaming spirit arrows) from around the world must team-up to stop the villain Spider and his Mars Corporation from using a time machine to destroy the past and control the future. The three heroes chase after their enemy in seven time periods, including the Sengoku period in Japan (where Ryu avenges his ancestor by killing Oda Nobunaga ), Ancient Egypt (fighting a floating recreation of Tutankhamen), the Stone Age , China in the era of Three Kingdoms (fighting against Lu Bu ), and World War II .

Gameplay Systems

The overall gameplay is similar to this of the run-and-gun classic Ikari Warriors , with the players battling their way up the top-down perspective screen. The players can choose between three ninja characters, all with differing abilities. Each of them has fighting game -style input commands that unleash their scroll-based ninpo special moves. As usual in the genre, the game's stages end with boss battles.
