What The Hell Happened To Tenchu?
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 07. 2024
- The Tenchu series' heavy stealth focus, demanding resource management, beautiful yet somewhat gloomy graphics, and authentic japanese soundtrack all came together to form an excellent experience that few games could compare to for the rest of that console generation, and would even go on to score a spot as Game Informer's "54th best game of all time".
We would probably put it a bit higher than that, but even still. So with all that said, about the ground breaking nature of this series, why haven't we seen another one in almost ten years?

So happy I'm not the only one to miss Tenchu.
Yeah tenchu was a dope game. I only played the first two.
I recently got a PSX emulator and maybe a week or two later of getting as many childhood games as I could get my grubby little hands on I suddenly remembered and I quote "that one ninja game I played on PS1 in 2006 that I never got caught playing"
I do too.
I only played the 4th one, didn't know about the others. That one is Shadow Assassins right? The one I played is Shadow Assassins
Miss so much this game. Hope at least for a remake.
Isn't it funny how Tenchu, a game about ninjas, just disappeared
Haha yeah too funny!
Hahaha...ha...ha... :(
disappeared into the dark shadows
"NINJA VANISH"
@JerkFlowCotto fuck ps4
@@palehorse720 lol I was going to say this. Damn.
Every single time I would reminisce about PS1 games with other people, they would always look at me in confusion when I mentioned Tenchu. I'm so glad to know people actually loved these games as much as I did.
One of my best memories of PS1 too..
clearly you gotta start hanging out with cooler people!
Well Said, Tenchu was Amazing like Metal Gear Solid 🌟😀🌟
People are always like "you mean Ninja Gaiden?"
NO😡🙄
Man i thouught i was the only one...
Tenchu 1&2 remake would be the greatest thing ever. They were soooo ahead of their time, and music and atmosphere omg. I don't just need Tenchu back, the gaming industry needs Tenchu back and properly done as well.
Agreed tenchu 1 the forest is my ish
Would pay 60$ for a remake of the first three games.
60$ each right? Because that's what they would cost unless they were super generous like the devs doing the MediEvil remake/remaster at 40$ w/ a 60$ Deluxe Edition (meh)
60 for the collection would be perfect
Its called sekiro
@@merfmanbaby6992 it's really not lol
@Sleepy Head Sekiro is definitely not trash. Why do you think that?
tenchu is the best damn ninja game ever
EDIT: what the fuck. thanks for the many likes, didn't think i would get any likes for a simple comment. quite humbling
Absolutely.
Dregs
Them pixels made me go blind....
Good game though.
hell yeah
used to be able to do a Co-Op attack with tenchu n his partner.
Great soundtrack
The Tenchu series is actually a gaming milestone. This game laid down the blue print for stealth mechanics and perfected it at once. Stealth hasnt gotten any better really. Tenchu had bait, traps, sound discipline, visual discipline, enemies noticed dead bodies, and cautionary modes. All stealth games use this. Tenchu is indeed in the truest form a game of innovation and perfection at what it did. No other games have gotten further since in the stealth department. With all the stealth games out these days this game deserves an immaculate return.
Metal gear picked up that throne
@@cmdrhb8659 tenchu slaps. pioneers are always crucial to the development of anything.
Splinter Cell also did a damn good job for Stealth Action. Esp. Chaos Theory and later my all time fav. Conviction
@@stealthycoreHitman and Metal Gear have way better stealth lmao
And Dishonored is right up there with Tenchu
Tenchu needs to come back it was so ahead of its time! So we need unreal engine tenchu crazy good graphics with stealth!!!
The first Tenchu was a classic hands down.
The sencond one was even better, the plot had romance, betrayal, brotherhood, war, just fucking amazing
@@Drinkwithclass EXACTLY..CAN'T AGREE MORE..YOU HIT THE SPOT...I FELL for 1+2 didn't care much for the rest when they gave the characters superhuman abilities with all the supernatural stories and hocus pocus....didn't like that so much Only the First and the second...the rest are ok just to kill time...not to enjoy
dont worry ghost of tushima might give that feel again I'm a bit late I know
Is there anyway to play tenchu on ps4
First two were amazing.
I feel sad that I am 35 & have been waiting since my teens for a good Tenchu game
fatal shadows and wrath of heaven were good
I'm 33 and totally understand you. Last one was Tenchu Z when I was in college. I wish is they make a reboot
Could be worse , I loved the first 2 and never knew until years later that any more had been made.
Andrew Fishburn if you are a fan. I highly recommend tenchu z on xbox360.
I am still waiting
Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven is one of my favorite games.
Same here
And infuriating as hell!
Name is literally redundant
Grandmaster on every stage,layout and difficulty
I even have Tenchu: Return From Darkness which is the updated version of Tenchu 3 Wrath of Heaven!! 🇯🇵🎮😎
The music in the first game was a big part of it's appeal for me. Very atmospheric.
👍👍
It terrified me as a kid😆
Asakura Noriyuki, great composer
Reapers Dusk I love the music but my husband hates it. He said it’s creepy but it’s nice & relaxing to me.
Yes
Tenchu Z was ahead of it's time, Honestly having YOUR OWN character was a whole lot cooler in my opinion
Wanna play multiplayer my gt is illMatick420 message me if your down
Dude that game was fucking top tier. Ugh might have to cop an old console
@@illMatick99 how? I dont have a 360
@@Chandler191 maybe he's assuming you have one lol
Tenchu Z was great. The cuztomisation, atmosphere, gameplay,... everything was so good. It was a unique game.
Tenchu 2 really forged me as a player often taking about 40-90 min per level to get all stealth kills and grand master ranking. This E3 served to remind me of how much I miss the franchise
I started from the first and it's voice acting was funny but i like the game as a whole.
"never spill the blood of an innocent"
Tenchu 2 is still one of the greatest games Ive ever played. The storyline really drew me in and it didnt have much stupid magical/supernatural elements in it
i mean i would take my time and get all stealth kills for grand master but it never took 40 mins took a ninja nap
I played through it enough times to grandmaster every level without using any items lol
TENCHU HD collection pls.
Al J Tenchu stealth assassins, Tenchu 2 & wrath of heaven foooooor suuuure!
Would be so good
Omg yes!
Tenchu 2 was shite imo. Tenchu 1 won't work in hd imo. It was good during it's time but it's format is outdated.
Maybe not a simple straight hd port of the originals as those are abit dated,
but I would like a Tench 1, 2 and 3 be like how the Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy or Tomb Raider Anniversary did it.,
it just need that kind of huge "HD/rebuild" make over, so that can work.
It just need to be faithful to the original games levels, gameplay and story, with a modern graphical overhaul.
Then add in abit of the gameplay of Shadow Assassins and other modern gameplay ideas.
I want Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven remastered on PlayStation 4 so many fun memories and same with Shinobi.
man...i was playing that game like 10 years ago, and it was amazing...i even tried to search for it, or to buy it, or at least using an emulator to run it on my pc...
@@AnubitekOfficial Tenchu wrath of heaven was a bit too fair and easy compared with the first tenchu games you get caught the whole village is on your ass chasing you everywhere lol, also boss fights were amazing and terrifying at once
Tenchu 3 was the first Tenchu game I every played on my dad’s ps2. I’ve only been able to play that and Tenchu Z. Sad that there hasn’t been any updates :((
Omg YES
Dope game that would be awesome
Sekiro was originally a new Tenchu game, but it kept evolving into something the developer thought wasn't really Tenchu so they decided to make it its own IP. I'm loving Sekiro, but think about it, we were so close to getting a new Tenchu game. Lets hope they're still interested in making that long awaited sequel someday
Nah I think activision had a gun to their head to force them into making it into a souls like game instead of an actual tenchu game just because more profits since people are suckers for souls like games nowadays
@@GMOTP5738 Miyazaki's team did whatever they wanted with Sekiro. Activision's only request was to give the players more indications on the mechanics at the start of the game, that's why you have a short tutorial at the beggining. That's the only way in wich they decided something in the creative process. Everything else was Miyazaki and his team.
Do you really think that Activision requesting whatever they wanted to developers would result in a game with no DLC, no microtransaction, and way too hard to pick up for any casual gamer ? Like cmon.
And I take it as a proof that Activision won't be involved with Elden Ring yet it will still share some elements with souls games.
True, it was like how Devil May Cry was supposed to be a Resident Evil sequel/spin-off but evolved to be its own game.
@@JM-vl3cy i hate tutorials. Lol
Tenchu is one series that truly deserves a properly realized comeback. The first game was one of the games that changed my gaming life back in 1998, though it admittedly hasn't aged well at all. Noriyuki Asakura's soundtrack to that game is one of the most amazing pieces of music ever put into gaming. I honestly believe whichever developer currently holds the right to the Tenchu series, should collab with ubisoft. I'm a huge Splinter Cell fan, and I feel that series is the only stealth games that have a lot in common with the Tenchu games. Imagine a properly developed Triple A Tenchu title. My gaming wishes would be answered for once.
I have setted up a petition
www.change.org/p/eric-hirshberg-make-tenchu-wrath-of-heaven-remastered-for-ps4
I have a feeling stealth just overstayed it's welcome. Maybe it would make a comeback in 2018+ but considering the popularity of FPS and the like I am not too sure.
Ew, no! Nothing could kill tenchu faster than season 1, 2 and 3 passes, In game currency and a rushed release of an uncompleted game they're gonna finish over the next two years ...
Mark of the Ninja can also scratch the ninja itch quite well, too.
SHIN BAKI HANMA I feel the same. They try to open world it somehow but probably ruin it
I remember when I was younger, my dad and I would stay up really late playing Tenchu Wrath of Heaven. I would definitely buy a console just to play that if it was to be remade or a new one was to come out.
I have one for sale
damn that must have been awsome, multiplayer was really fun though, I would pay for a remastered wrath of heaven that has co op in it
Tenchu Z was so good. Shame there was never another.
Co-op, character customisation, wall/ceiling assassinations, ninja run, and perfect stealth meter it just was a great game that only needed better level variety.
This is by far the best ninja game ever I don’t care what nobody says, il settled for a 4k remaster version.
Remember the music in Tenchu Z? 😀
k2: here you go
(gives tenchu fatal shadows)
me:(takes one look at the time line)
who asked?
I'm playing Ghost of T, closest kinda so far like a tenchu, but not really. Still waiting on that Tenchu High.
JAHZi TAFARI I feel you bro , I love ghost of Tsushima but lest be honest is not a ninja game and it’s a fact yes stealth is involved but not a 100% what the game is about
Uhh, Sekiro exists?
I remember playing tenchu until 3 am. I was 7 years old then. I really miss this game.
Holy shit same
used to call the healing item "milk"
I would always pray for this game to work on my ps1
Best part of the original Tenchu is those creepy demon cat enemies that roam the streets. They gave me the shivers when ever I’m spotted.
Tenchu is a f'ing masterpiece in gaming history, undoubtedly the best Ninja Game franchise ever. The Soundtrack of the first Tenchu was so carefully crafted and fitted perfectly to the levels and the overall feel. The boss fights, especially in Techu 1 + 2 + Fatal Shadows were amazing. Also all the boss characters were very interesting and colorful. Fatal Shadows is the most underrated Tenchu - the double stealth kills were amazing and the new skill system that included attack reversals.
You ever play Way of the Shinobi?
It was made by the same people as Tenchu
Tenchu known for it's *realistic* ninja way. Enemies, execution, hide and seek.
Sekiro? Great, fighting giant Kong, ancient dragon, and giant Carp
But not a Tenchu
I stealthed through the entirety of sekiro. execution, hide and seek. It's literally the same exact game but with way more features and content.
Stealth is a major part of Sekiro....if not you're playing wrong...lol
@@MC-wh3xm absolutely, rikimaru upgraded.
Id much rather just play a new Tenchu game
Actuarially tenchu 2 is the only game from tenchu franchise that realistic....there's a floathing head, dancing zombies, lord mei-oh on the other game
*I had so much fun on Tenchu Z! I hope it gets made backwards compatible on xbox one. ✅😁*
Tenchu 3 got versus mode.... I still beat my cousin and he hate when I used that character with a gun and signature move.... ”fly baby!"... Hahahaha
Afiq Qusyairy tatsumaru will beat em up, that tajima guy lol
still have my copy and recently got another ps2 and me and my friends be going at it
Afiq Qusyairy it is the perfect versus mode in the ninja games so far.
Yeah... I think that the only versus ninja so good to played
We used to used the "HBT" Tatsumaru would say "How bout this?" and it was a grapple move you could chain together in a juggle.
Tenchu is the only game that deserves to have "ninja" in its title. The rest is just garbage (with the exception of shinobido which was a great game).
Mark of the ninja is good
IFUCKING MISS TENCHU , THEY SHOULD REMAKE FIRST 2 TENCHU GAMES, A TENCHU COLLECTION FOR PS4 !!!!! AND MAKE A NEW ONE FOR PS4 & PS5 !!! I AM SICK OF THAT FIGHTING DARK SOULS STYLE, I WANT A TACTICAL STEALTH NINJA GAME, AND TENCHU WOULD BE THE BEST !!!!
Shinobido was made by Acquire, same guys who made the first two Tenchu games.
Shinobido is underrated
Shinobido best
I love the Tenchu series!!! Tenchu 2 is my favorite though. I still listen to that end credit song. Its so good!! I wish they would remaster, bundle, or reboot this series. It had so many followers! And please bring back Kigame and Tatsumaru.
This game was my childhood, we deeply need a grounded in reality tench game.
I want a Tenchu remake.

@@minzy421 fuck yea!
They need to bring the series back and with a vengeance. some of my Fondest Memories as a child was playing as RikiMaru, running along the rooftops dropping down from the Shadows onto unsuspecting guards and poisoning them with rice balls, was just hilarious. Greatest game ever made
2nd Tenchu was the best Tenchu for me. The level creation is just, ahead of its time. It's like playing two games and joining them.
Tenchu was/is awesome af... Hopefully we will see a new Tenchu at some point.
Developer From Software has stated that their new game Sekiro Shadows Die Twice was originally a Tenchu game but it became more than that, the more they developed it.
This comment right here
I loved Tenchu 2 with a passion as a child. Awesome game series.
This game series had a huge impact on me as a kid and Tenchu 2 my favorite of the titles by a good stretch, immense nostalgia and respect, would love to see a remake of the classic titles or a stealthy resurrection to the series in the not to distant future!⚔️🌅☘️
Just downloaded Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven. Man... still fun to play.
Charlie L. On PC.
Questão Yes, sir.
PS4??
You've been a bad boy. It's payback time!
I just finished playing it on my PC, and now i feel hella younger
They should just remake this game
ABSOLUTELY
They are in fact remaking the original onimusha. It’s by Capcom. I’m not joking
@@TheInfantry98 Yeaah this i know
go play sekiro
Tenchu is trash compared to Sekiro. Everything that Tenchu did in the 1990s Sekiro does infinitely better here in 2019.
Fatal Shadows and Wrath of Heaven are my favorites, mostly because having actual camera controls went a long ass way. Still, if 1 and 2 had been remade in FS's engine at the time it likely would have been amazing. Having Rikimaru again *and* level editor mode.
We need a new or remastered tenchu series now! Imagine if the game is as cinematic as ghost of tsushima 😭
Wanna play multiplayer my gt is illMatick420 message me if your down
@@illMatick99 play tenchu or ghost of tsushima? Cuz i dont have either. Played tenchu on my xbox like 10 years ago. Im on ps4 now
I loved tenchu ... what the hell happened to onimusha?
Tenchu 3 had the best code/secret ever. Loved the unlockable B-side dialogue that changed all the voiced cutscenes to completely different dialogue changing the 3 stories into various cheesy B-movie subplots.
Tenchu 2 was by far the best though, Tatsumaru was a badass.
Josh Cawston tatsumaruuuuuuuu!
I bought Tenchu 2 back in 2000 when it first released. I played the hell outta that game. Tenchu 3/wrath of heaven was the overall best game in the series, though. I still own the first Tenchu game, and Fatal Shadows. The controls need serious revamping. I also kind of regret selling Tenchu Z on the 360 years ago. It was a decent and admittedly fun, though overly repetitive game. Arrrgh, I just miss Tenchu as a series. There's very good reasons why the series is dormant, but i still miss it. It deserves better that it has gotten over the years.
Yes tatsumaru!!!
I used him in tenchu 3 vs mode to beat the shit out of friend. Remember he was so mad 😂
Tenchu2 has the most epic boss fights.
The original Tenchu is one of the best
I would bring back the tenchu 2 atmosphere hands down. Hide enemy bodies, find objects into their pockets, no music during the missions, and the level editor. All of these features to me were so kickass.
I loved Tenchu Z. It's one of my favourite last gen games.
I watch the intro of Wrath of Heavens at least monthly.
The magic, i know the miraculous existence of such a game won't repeat, but damn, i want someone to seriously try.
This game brings me back to my ChildHood! I miss you Ayame and Rikimaru!!! I hope tenchu developer brings back to life this game. ☺️
DUDE, RIGHT?!?!?
Tenchu Z was a masterpiece.
Wrath of Heaven was amazing too. First one I played.
Z was trash
@@Mr.VonStoogle
Mmm....agree to disagree.
Just because you didnt play as rikimaru or ayame.
The gameplay was tight and they expanded upon previous mechanics.
Z was... meh...
@@BetterCallThall I don't think tenchu z I don't think Tenchu Z was the greatest but I think it's far from terrible. Can't you see a lot of customization but the levels felt lackluster and repetitive after 3 hours you have to play this game to three times to perfect it no thanks but still I did enjoy playing it. Plus just 2 mandatory boss fights, and the story wasn't all that interesting either. I'm playing not playing any of the main characters from Wrath Of Heaven but you're boring protagonist never speaks so he/she has no personality.
50 missions on the same map
, doesn't sound masterpiece like to me. Boring characters with no personality and lackluster story.
But you're right on the gameplay part it feels very good.
One of my favorite games is Tenchu 3 Wrath of Heaven. I love it S2
Master Knight
Magical game... Very underrated
I have Tenchu Wrath of Heaven for the PS2 as well. And also have Tenchu Return from Darkness which is an updated version of the PS2 game. And I love return from darkness better than wrath of heaven because it's more updated from the PS2 version of the game obviously. 😎

The original with just modern graphics would still be an awesome game.
A remake would be awesome! I loved this game and it’s mysticism.
I love Tenchu! I really wish they would make another.
Me too !!
At the end of Tenchu 2 Both Rikimaru and Ayame proclaimed that each of them were going their separate ways. Fatal shadows is the first installment that focused on Ayame's story arc. so of course Rikimaru wasn't available as playable character because he wasn't part of that arc anymore.
ayame was going to protect princess kiku and rikimaru wanted to serve lord gohda. kiku is gohda's daughter. not really separate ways
*Thank you for talking about this!!!* Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven is one of my favorite games of all time. It was just one of those games I could play over and over and over without getting bored and I love Rikimaru but Ayame is my fucking GIRL!
*Bring back TENCHU!*
"Tatsumaru! So..my past has caught up with me. Since I killed your father I suppose its my Karma to die by your hand..or perhaps not! I may be old but I can still fight!"
Tench stealth assassins was so damn good!!!! One of my most rememberable games ever.
Yes what ever happen to the tenchu series? Well X-play is partially to blame for this with their bad review.
I hope Sekiro is a form of From Software testing the waters for a new TENCHU game in the near future. 🤗
Tenchu was exactly what was in my mind when i saw Sekiro
and yet there's no information for the next tenchu
i think sekiro is worst game of year not best, only bosses are good other details are trash, idk how this game is goty
@Rolando Third Mendiola maybe that year was trash, i just end whole game with easy mode, if this game has beauty in useless hard dodge gameplay its x3 bad, in every aspect this game is beyond normal except bosses. my opinion, good luck
@Rolando Third Mendiola sekiro is better than dark souls but its just hard dodge gameplay and cant understand why they are great games cuz it is hardcore? bullshit, hope elden ring will have good mechanics
Tenchu stealth assassins was such a great game and I deeply desire a developer to capture that essence on a modern game engine with refined mechanics.
I would love a game like this with 100% focus in stealth
I still have the very first one for PlayStation I love this game
This game changed my life. I really started to train in a real dojo. I really tried to be a ninja
I played the first game as a kid and I loved it so much and their 2 next "sequels", eventually due to disappointed of the later games I totally forgot about the franchise (I had no idea Z existed) but last night for some reason I started to recall the first game, it was so vivid, the music, the blood sound effects... and started wondering what happened to the series. I could not rest well after, I had to know.
I spent my allowance on tenchu 1 and a meme card n loved it
Tenchu is one of my favourite series ever. A reboot would be amazing! Bring back Ayame and Rikkimaru, with some deep storyline and either big stages or open world. That would be awesome.
Wrath of Heaven was the Best!
Yes, it was. I would love a remastered version.
Yep! You sure said it as much as we haven't even gotten a new Tenchu game coming along the way since 2009! And now I'm wondering if Fromsoftware can either develop a sequel or a reboot in the Tenchu franchise! I especially missed Rikimaru so much!! 🇯🇵😎
Tenchu Z is the only one I've played but I absolutely love it.
Great game!
It was my favorite but none of them will ever beat Tenchu 1 voice acting.
One Love Yeah that's just your opinion though just like how other people say that Tenchu 2 is the worst in the series for it's lame ass overly dramatic soap opera wannabe bullshit story.
@@watermelonmonsterman6027 Tenchu stealth assassins voice acting was hilarious! "Echigoya, where have you hidden?" Still makes me chuckle!
only a non tenchu fan would say 2 is the worst. the story makes the game. overly dramatic? death makes for drama and there's a lot of it. maybe it's not award winning writing or acting but it's a video game. 1 is the worst. the mechanics make it unplayable. enemies could see u through walls
Hopefully we will see a new Tenchu one day
Emre A. Seamen
My First Tenchu game was
Tenchu Z on the Xbox 360 and I enjoyed playing the hell out it
You need to play the 1st Tenchu game. The original way on ps1.
I have been playing tenchu Z since 2007. Its my alltime favorite. I have a ps4 with gta 5 etc but I always find myself with the good old 360 and tenchu 😊😊
@@O-townplaya same here Tenchu Z Is the best ninja game, I wish from software brings it back if they got time for it
@@tsupheng6268 I really hope so!!
Still a loyal fan here. The game literally grew up with me, and in me.
Shadow Assassins was great fun, and my first Tenchu. I've since gone back to some of the others and had a great time. Still want to play Tenchu Z someday, but being on the 360 exclusively means I probably never will unfortunately. Don't know what they were thinking releasing it exclusively on a platform that none of its fans owned.
Sekiro isn't a stealth game, so it really isn't anything like Tenchu, but Ghosts of Tsushima might be close?
Man I miss this game. Would love a remake.
My uncle is the one who introduce me to Tenchu:Wrath of Heaven when i was little. To this day, i still have it and play it time to time because i love the character,story,levels and music.
Same but it was my godfather for me since he gave me his PS2 and many games
Tenchu Fatal Shadows was actually really good. I'd say even better than Wrath of Heaven because the maps were so much nicer and all enemies were actual human not some creepy unrealistic monsters.
I would love a comeback from Tenchu honestly
The ability to be super creative got my hooked on this game. I use to play for hours.
An open world Tenchu game would be a masterpiece and a Tenchu 3 remake would be dope too
I'm still playing tenchu in 2020
I'm really nostalgic-
Me too, playing tenchu san portabel now on ppsspp
We need TENCHU again 2019😭
mortalkombatXL yes plz 🙏🏾
Videos like this keep my hopes for this franchise up thank you
I didn't even know fromsoftware had a hand in the Tenchu Series. That explains why Sekiro made me remember and miss Tenchu, it takes inspiration from it.
Fatal Shadows had the best gameplay. The best Ayame. In here you actually make her run fast like in the cutscenes. Having finally nailed the VS aspect, It would've been perfect if Rikimaru was there not moving awkward in a boss fight.
Also, the game rewarded skill in being able to pull certain techniques that would end what could be a long fight.
Tenchu, where have you hidden?
Tenchu....show yourself!
That's a really great question! We haven't gotten a new Tenchu game since 2009! And I especially missed Rikimaru very much!! 🇯🇵😎
Tenchu shadow assassins was my first tenchu game...I don't know why I suddenly remember it but I do know it was a hell of a lot of fun
Glad to see a video about the Tenchu series , I've only played the first two but Tenchu 2 is still one of my favorite games thanks to its story and characterization !
I Also LOVED Way Of The Samarai and CAN'T WAIT For 😀Ghost Of Tsushima👺
Bro i loved that too,if way of the samurai is open world what will happen ?
And dont forget tough they have "shinobido the way of the ninja"
fauzi hunter if it went open world maaaan never put a controller down
Love that game when I was younger good old day when a game was a game should remake it lots of fun
I miss this game so much. It's one of my top ten favorites. I am so sad it isn't on Steam. I had the original, Wrath of Heaven, and Fatal Shadows. Loved them all. I know the reviewer didn't like Fatal Shadows, but I really loved the levels.
The original Tenchu was fantastic
Literally cant stop replaying it for those Grand Master Rankings
No mention of Shinobido. Made by Aquire who was the same studio behind Tenchu 1&2, as well as 4. They probably meant for Shinobido to be their successor.
@Angry Chair wow, yeah, i'm a big Tenchu/Ninja fan and I've never heard of that one.
I'd buy a next gen Tenchu game, especially if it was an awesome remake of Tenchu Stealth Assassins, day 1.
I 100% Tenchu Z, but it was not a good Tenchu game.
Genome Soldat i thought it was a good Tenchu game just not amazing like the first 3.
Same. I also 100% Z, but it was...an average game. It was fun though, trying to do a stealth only run when you first start and your footsteps are loud AF. And then you realize all of the missions are the same few maps, just spawning in different places. Customizing your character was cool, and those skills. String em up, upside down.
It wasn't the best, but I liked some of its ideas like character creation/customization and the ability to acquire cool skills - that was a fresh new angle I would like to see again.
2024 and still miss tenchu, I remember when it first came out😌😌😌
The thing they keep forgetting is that we liked the fact that the Ninjas moved like real people. You felt like you could do it too.
Personally I loved, AND STILL DO love, Tenchu Z. It ran so smoothly, and I've put probably 100s of hours into it. It does have repeating maps, but it doesn't really feel that repetitive, since everything's different on each map. It's one of those games you can play 1000 different ways and still have fun.
Shadows Die Twice looks really nice. I've been wanting From Software to bring us some more Tenchu. My main concern is that the game seems a bit too "Soulsy". I was hoping for a straight up Samurai/Ninja game with pure realism (or very close to it), and a focus on Stealth/Swordplay as well as crafting of swords
(like Way of the Samurai 3, mixed with Tenchu Z stealth). Not sure I like the whole Ninja/Samurai vs Demons thing. Still it DOES look very fun, I'm a huge fan of Souls.
James Yeager facts I'm also looking forward to ghost of Tsushima
@@Shaddy0089 I keep forgetting that game exists and idk why. I'm excited to see it come out but they barely even talk about it. Makes me worried it might be one of those few moments where a game is announced then just disappears. It was announced like a year ago, right? Yet I've heard next to nothing since then
I wished Sekirou: Shadows Die Twice would be a Tenchu game, but it's pretty cool to see they drew quite a bit of inspiration from it.
Howls Castle Nah,altough it has a grappling hook,it was not same as tenchu (watch the gameplay and you know what i mean).And the battle style are same like those Souls franchise or Bloodborne.They just adding "the jump and kill" similar to Uncharted 4.
Really? I think its pretty obviously Tenchu animations. Especially in the stealth kills. One of the kills from the initial Sekirou trailer is almost the EXACT same stealth kill animation from Tenchu Z. The battle system is clearly taken from the SoulsBorne series', but the stealth and sneaking animations scream Tenchu to me.

Not true. I agree with op,it drowe a lot from tenchu if you look closely
U know when they put out the teaser trailer I honestly thought it was another Tenchu. But it was a letdown instead.
And we haven't gotten a new Tenchu game since 2009! 🇯🇵😎
Thanks for this amazing coverage for one of the best stealth and ninja game ever
ahh. Wall hugging with Ayame with her alternate costume brings back a lot of memories.
sekiro is basically tenshu with fantastical elements added to it. Optional but powerful stealth, focus on opportunistic and brutal dispatching of enemies and its own interesting story.
What I was thinking.
Completely fucking wrong lol has nothing to do with tenchu since its souls like gameplay and almost always forces you into combat and the stealth is laughably bad because of the dumb AI also "interesting story" really? The story was boring as hell and very forgettable plus the characters were very forgettable even the main character who has zero personality and zero character traits is highly forgettable.
@@GMOTP5738 You spam on all Sekiro comments. Salt much? Sekiro is a good game, just not for you. There is a reason why they changed its name to Sekiro and not Tenchu:Sekiro. I do want a remaster of Tenchu 1 though Don't know about the others cause I only played 1 and wrath of heaven in my childhood.
Didn't the original developers make the Shinobido games? They were somewhat of a spirital sucessor to the first two games. They never felt as cool as Tenchu though.
Carl Hammarström yes I believe shinobido was a product of those folks. Great gameplay but the story was paper thin and repetative missions kept it down imo
I don't like the Shinobido games. The last one I played on the Vita was terrible. I took that shit right back to the store for a full refund. 😂🤣😆
yeah, Shinobido is the spiritual successor of the Tenchu saga, and it was made by Acquire the original creators of Tenchu.
It was a good game, fun to play, but the missions were very repetitive. Anyway, it was a lot better game than all the Tenchu games after "Wrath of heaven"
Shinobido on PS2 is hands-down the game that made me feel like a ninja. Not only could you take missions from whoever you wanted, you could use the mission system itself to screw over your adversaries. You'd usually get a mission request from Team A wanting you to protect a delivery, and a request from Team B asking you to steal the same delivery. If you were on Team A's side, it was actually easier to accept Team B's "steal" mission and voluntarily fail it.
But my favourite example of thinking like a ninja was when I was working to topple the Young Lord. My patron sent me a request to assassinate him, but the Young Lord also sent me a mission - he said he'd send his guards away and face me in his castle in honourable one-on-one combat. I accepted, and turned up at his castle to find it completely devoid of guards, as promised. I climbed up the outside of his castle, and located the Lord on the top floor waiting for me. I threw a shuriken into the windowsill, and when he cautiously crept over to investigate I reached in, pulled him outside, and pinned him to the side of his castle with my sword.
Shinobido Imashime on PS2 is the best ninja game ever, agreed!
Tenchu on PS1 was... nothing short of revolutionary, tenchu wrath of heaven, made me super happy
We need a remaster of the first four Tenchu games: Stealth assassins, Birth of the Stealth assassins, Fatal Shadows and Wrath of Heaven
It's because ninja theme games have gone downhill since their golden age in the 2000s. There hasn't been a good Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi or Tenchu game in a long time, and none of the games they inspired like Ninja Blade, Shinobido and Red Ninja really caught on.
Only good Ninja games in the 2010s been Mark of the Ninja, and maybe The Messenger that's coming out in a few days, since it looks like a good NES era Ninja Gaiden inspired game.
I feel like Shinobido did enough though to innovate in the genre to definitely improve what it meant to be a good stealth/action game. It improved in a lot of ways over Tenchu. Including AI, that changed it's behavior depending on previous missions you had accomplished, being able to choose what mission you'd like to do without advancing the story. A base defense minigame which is a whole other game all on its own, being able to keep out those barbarians was a nightmare.
Shinobido lacked the character that Tenchu had, Rikimaru and Ayame the amicability and professional relationship between the two as well as the exaggerated characters of their adversaries. Overall, I agree with your comment though. I just feel like it's disappointing Shinobido never caught on because it did a tonne of things right, if anything it nailed the series it was trying to imitate.
