Okay, so the video is in all Japanese, but you don’t have to be a genius to see that Aquire is definitely going a completely different route with the overall gameplay style for the aging series. It pretty much looks like a much improved revamp of the gameplay mechanics and looks to offer an experience that set itself apart from the previous titles as well as other hack and slash games out there. Everything from

blowing out candles to delivering some serious blows to ones “pacakage”, Tenchu 4 looks to introduce gamers to a slew of ways to take down your opponents all the while keeping your stealthy stride. Whats seen in the video looks really good, painful and funny( swift kick to the nuts is priceless). What also looks pretty tight is the ability to quickly attack an enemy who is drawing a sword thus eliminating the need to have to fight. And there appears to be some form of first person sword combat as well which looks sort of turn based between you and your opponent. Take a look at the around 8 minute video and I think you would agree that it’s safe to say this new entry is doing a good job of trying to revamp the series and the Ninja stealth action in a way that separates itself from the usual hack and slash fair.
