Kaze Kiri

## Description

Princess Shizuhime has been kidnapped by a group of ninja under the command of
Genbu, and brought to the castle of the malevolent Lord Hiei. The brave young
ninja Kaze is summoned by Lord Yoshikage and sent on a dangerous mission:
infiltrate Hiei’s castle, defeat his minions, and rescue Shizuhime.

_Kaze Kiri_ is essentially a beat-em-up with a few distinguishing
characteristics. The game consists of traversing fully linear side-scrolling
areas, defeating regular enemies and bosses on the way. Before being able to
fight the stage boss, Kaze has to vanquish a pre-determined number of enemies,
which is displayed as a shared enemy HP on top of the screen.

Kaze attacks with his sword when he is near the enemy, or throws shurikens at
them from afar. Enemy projectiles can also be blocked by countering them with
shurikens. Kaze can also disappear for a moment and re-appear at another
location. He can jump, duck, perform somersaults, and grab and throw enemies.
Kaze’s health regenerates over time if he is not hit repeatedly. Completing
the game unlocks another playable character, the female ninja Suzu.
