Shinobido Homura

Towards the end of the Muromachi Era (1336-1573) of Japan's history, the Ashikaga Shogunate suffered from the effects of civil war. The Onin War which spanned from 1467-1477 took its toll on the Shogunate. Were it not for the Asuka ninja clan, the Ashikaga would have fallen sooner against the power of Oda Nobunaga. To speed things up, an all-out assault is launched against the Asuka Ninja Village, killing most of its members which paved the way for the destruction of the Ashikaga and the ascension of Nobunaga.

Gou the Crow has slashed his way through two PS2 games and the assassin suffering from amnesia answers the call to arms for one more time. As the last of the Asuka clan, Gou the Crow goes on missions and quests to take his vengeance against his foes. At the outset of Shinobido Homura, a new mission is offered to Gou but little does he know that the adventure entails more than meets the eye. A total of 80 new missions await the stealthy ninja which involve infiltration, assassination, kidnapping, sabotage, and utter destruction of a target. When Gou attacks an enemy, the blood runs ruddy and sprays like miniature geysers from hacked open bodies. Gou can also scale walls and run across rooftops to evade attackers. The PSP version of the game features a Mission Editor Mode which allows for data transfer from PS2 Shinobido Imashime and Shinobido Takumi so that custom-created PS2 missions are playable on the PSP.
