Update: April 7, 2006
«©NCSX» In previous Tenchu games, Rikimaru and Ayame killed their targets by stealthy approach and direct blade-to-flesh contact. For the Nintendo DS, From Software adds a new way of killing enemies - traps. In Tenchu Dark Shadow, Rikimaru may lay an explosive trap and then lead or force a foe on top of it. Once the bomb is triggered, a massive explosion sends the hapless target airborne. Bamboo skewers in a box may also be set which kill by way of fast moving spikes that jet out when invoked. Green poison gas traps choke an enemy to death. Wicked trap combinations may also be set to perform powerful doses of guaranteed death. For example, a bamboo skewer trap may be set followed by a poison gas trap. The skewers cause massive physical damage and the poison gas seals the deal by choking the dying victim. Of course, good old fashioned butchery is always available to dispatch foes to their next lives. View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website. NCS Game Notes
» To attract an enemy to a trap, food may be planted next to the it. As the hungry victim investigates the tasty morsel, a bomb blast is triggered. In some cases, when a person bends over to pick up the food, the trap is not triggered. When this happens, sneak behind him and attack to send him tumbling forward into the trap. » A tool synthesis system is introduced in Tenchu Dark Shadow where two items are combined to create a third item in your inventory. » Up to 4 players may link up wirelessly for ninja skulking competition and synthesized item trading.
