Gameplay
The side-scrolling venture features two playable characters; Hayate and Kaede.
Hayate is the next ruler of the Ryuuha Shippu.
His perks include the pinnacle of ninja assassination.
However, his short temper can be an obstacle in tasks.
The other playable character is Kaede.
In contrast to Hayate, she has a much calmer demeanor.
Also, the new title sticks to the traditional two-player action.
One player controls Hayate, while the other controls Kaede.
In the previous title, both characters shared the same level of ninja mastery.
Natsumo is yet to reveal whether the remaster will grant the duo new skills.
Occasionally, players will need to grab onto an overhang or move underneath it.
Furthermore, the previous title bestowed a kusarigama and a katana to the characters.
If you’re unfamiliar with Japanese weapons, the former is equivalent to a billhook or sickle.
The latter is a curved single-edged blade.
We are yet to see whats in store with the new title as far as weapons are concerned.
