Sword of Honour

The player takes a role of an elite ninja sent for a mission to recover the stolen family sword of the fictional Shogun Yuichiro from a castle of his enemy, the evil Lord Toranaga. The ninja must retrieve the sword and punish Toranaga before Yuichiro will be forced to commit seppuku.

Sword of Honour combines the action-adventure oriented gameplay of the 1987 game The Last Ninja with the side-scrolling perspective of the 1986 games Ninja (aka Ninja Mission) and Fist II: The Legend Continues, and the icon-based controls of the 1987 game Barbarian. The player fights enemies (in unarmed combat and using a ninjatō, kusarigama, tekagi-shuko, shurikens and kunais), avoids traps, collects and uses items, and interacts with characters.
