Play Sengoku Denshou (english Translation) Online

Sengoku Denshou came out for the Super Nintendo in 1993 from Data East. It was part of that wave of action games that tried to do something a little different with the side scrolling formula. You don't see it mentioned as often as some other titles from that year, but it has its own distinct style.

You control a ninja named Kagetora, moving screen by screen through feudal Japan. Your main goal is to defeat the evil warlord and his generals. The combat is a mix of your standard sword slashes and a unique grappling hook you can use to pull enemies closer or swing across gaps. You also collect scrolls to learn powerful magic spells, which are essential for dealing with the tougher bosses. The game moves at a brisk pace and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly in later stages. Playing it feels like a constant test of your reflexes and your ability to manage the tools you're given.
