Kage is a side scrolling action game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989 by Taito Corporation. It arrived during a period when the NES library was dense with titles exploring ninja themes, offering its own take on the genre without the fanfare of more prominent franchises.

You control a lone ninja navigating a series of side scrolling and vertically climbing stages. Your main objective is to rescue a kidnapped girl from an evil organization, fighting through soldiers, robots, and other ninjas. Your primary tools are a sword for close range slashing and a limited supply of shuriken you can throw at distant foes. The game is structured around reaching the end of each level, often requiring you to jump between platforms and scale walls while managing your shuriken count carefully. The pacing is fast and the difficulty is considerable, demanding quick reflexes to deal with enemies that attack from all directions. Playing Kage feels like a constant, frantic scramble where every jump and every thrown shuriken counts.
