This classic beat 'em up stars a ninja and a cowboy (interesting combination...). The plot is simple: an evil Japanese dude unleashes hordes of undead feudal Japanese warriors; that's right, you fight zombies in this game! There's the basic beat 'em up controls: attack and jump, but the unique part of the game is the transformations. When a certain enemy is defeated, these transformations can become available. There are three different transformations in the game: a samurai warrior, an armor-clad wolf, and a very agile ninja. There are also colored orbs you can collect for extra things, such as extra health and magical attacks. If nothing else, Sengoku may have the strangest team-up in video game history.
Crazy.
Indeed.
I played this on a SNK collection. It was weird. I never did get into many SNK games besides Metal Slug for some reason. I could play those all day long.
It is a weird game, but SNK still pumped out some solid games (the KOF series is really fun; check out my review of KOF 95 from Saturday).
I loved this game. It was the first game a beat at the arcade. My friend & I kept playing until we made it to the end. A few years back, I bought it for my NeoGeo.
Awesome! So it holds a special place in your heart. We all have games like that.
Yet another game I haven't played. Cowboys, Ninjas and Zombies, such an odd combination.
Odd, yet awesome (only because of the ninja, of course)!
I never got into this game when it first came out in arcades, but years later I played it on one of the SNK collections and thought it was awesome.
I think it takes some time to get used to, but given the time, it can be very awesome.
Holy crap! He broke that sword with his hands! That's some BaD ass ninja-fu.
