Tenchu: Stealth Assassins [USA] (Rikimaru Playthrough)

[@CommanderCodyChipless]

This game for some reason terrified me as kid. Not in a bad way, it actually made the game more fun. Just the fact you can't see more than 20ft ahead of you, the dark, empty streets until you see a vicious dog coming after you. I had a blast with this game at age 7, even though I couldn't get through I believe the 3rd chapter

[@aserr3149]

Same. I think, i misunderstood the "stealth conception" when i was a kid

[@kahlebhowarth-jennings9688]

Me too, still look back on it as one of my favourite games, I think it’s the actual reason I really enjoy actually difficult games instead of difficulty selector games

[@garaltxabushi8214]

Man when I was little I couldn't pass the first level lol

[@RenoneR250]

This is exactly how i felt about the Thrasher Skate and Destroy Demo!! It was eerie hyou couldnt see very far, no npcs, no music, but something about it made it so much more fun!

[@SirSamuelofLouisiana]

Yes. It terrified me because everything was so dark and ominous. I remember my older cousin comment when he saw Echigoyia saying, "Come on." He said, "That man is a doggone pervert." Lol

[@FreshlyBakedMixes]

[@LolaTurlututu]

[@lahoku]

I know! I played tenchu wrath of Heaven & was waiting for the next one, which was in the making. But they stopped! Argh! I don't play video games anymore but I would def love to play another sequel

[@elijahcanales8928]

Brooooooo omg!!!!! Yes i still dream about those things i havent played this in like10 years and i remember that part mostly

[@Maxxis702]

Dude it was so fucking scary!!

[@d.aardent9382]

+Leng Moua So many great scary/tense situations and enemies in the different levels. The 3rd level in the snowy forest having to avoid the guards and the wolves to sneak into the cavern to rescue the other ninja. The forest had really great atmosphere with the way the sound and lighting was done. The cavern made me so tense trying to avoid the guards and trying to figure out the pathway. Then the giant frikin bear! lol When I first tried Tenchu 1 I couldnt get the hang of his movement in fighting until I figured out the parry and backstepping. The sound effects of nature and background noises were pretty well done to enhance the tension. I may be recalling a level in the 2nd Tenchu,but the one with the burning castle that ya had to go into to rescue someone was kinda scary..then ya had to fight the bastard with the handgun! arrgh that was crazy The music themes were great also.very well done.

[@Ozma2086]

I totally agree! I came here in 2016 as I loved this game and its classic soundtrack (which is on my iPod) :)

This game should be remastered. If not a remaster then it at least deserves a continuation. I think the Tenchu franchise died after Tenchu: Shadow Assassins. We haven't had a Tenchu game in 5 years. And most of the ones that came after Wrath of Heaven, weren't that great.

[@civilwarfare101]

Shadow Assassins killed the series.

[@Lyserg1260]

***** Wrath of Heaven killed it, it made Tenchu stupid hack'n slash game with unreal super moves, giant bosses, immortal zombies and other stupid things. Shadow Assassins is good, only fighting system sucks in this game.

[@civilwarfare101]

***** You have got to be kidding me. WoH didn't even have giant bosses. WoH wasn't great but it was better than SA. If WoH killed it then why did why did Tenchu games release after that. SA came out and there hasn't been a Tenchu game since. THAT is killing the series.

[@Lyserg1260]

***** There is no new Tenchu game because of idiots who played only WoH before (which is not even made by Acquire) and they were complaining that things are not like in WoH, when SA is more like PSX releases than WoH (in case of plot, quality of movies etc., only gameplay is different). And WoH had stupid bosses and one giant - headless samurai zombie, the one who designed this boss is an idiot. And in SA you have ONE plot, not 3 different (very bad) stories excluding each others. WoH was big step backward since Tenchu 2.

[@civilwarfare101]

***** SA was nothing like the PSX releases. It was a massive step back from those games also. It was shit both as a sequel and stand alone game. The bosses in WoH were bad but they weren't giant ones. The entire series had shit bosses anyway. I'll agree with the stories bit but that's it.

[@ncshuriken]

Tenchu is the GODFATHER of 3D stealth games, and still pretty much the only TRUE feeling ninja game! So many people think it was Metal Gear Solid that gave birth to stealth in the 3rd dimension. Blasphemy will not be tolerated!

_Im not from the 80’s nor 90’s, however I dunno why I find this so interesting and attractive. It really expresses all the Shinobi’s Topic and Philosophy. I have see so many horrible games of Ninja-Samurai in my entire life that I learn to appreciate a wonderful work like this game. PS: The OST is gorgeous_

This game came into my life when I was about 13/14 years old back in Mexico , I remember I grabbed it as soon as I saw it . Back in those days in Mexico , videogames were a sensation, everyone was crazy about the ps1 but games were very expensive , luckily for us there were cheap pirate versions of the games and I remember you'd had to pay like 10 USD dollars to install a chip that will alowe the console to play the games witch have a cost of about a dollar back in those days ( around 2000/2002) I remember I liked it so much since the very beginning but I couldn't understand what they talked about , still it was amazing listening all dialogues and I always thought it sounded so cool. I remember me and my uncle who was about my age , we both liked playing this a lot , and we would always replay all missions trying to do things in different ways , we felt like ninjas back in those days We didn't know what was the plot all about since we didn't speak English but we understood we had to protect our Lord and save our princess , to be brave and cut our enemies , but most importantly , to live with honor This game definitely was a very important part of my teenage days . Now many years later am able to have the original game in perfect condition and now can understand what they're talking about. Such a nostalgic feeling that this game gives me , oh the memories that come to me any time I play or see any video or listen to the music of this master piece

Such a legendary game I’m 31 now and I played it when I was 7* Honestly was kind of scary but in a good way Running in the dark on the roof and sneaking up on people 😂

Man, this game is a gem. I remember playing it for a few minutes as a kid. It's definitely one of those games my parents would've flipped out about lol. For the longest I didn't know of its name, but I came across it online recently. Now I have the rom in an emulator, with settings cranked up for a more pleasing picture, having a killer time. If there's any PS1 gameplay that's aged well, it's this.

GREAT GAME FOR ITS TIME

My best friend who died back in 2004 used to love this game and we would try and create levels for each other that would be impossible good times

This was the first game I played on my brand new PS1 back in the day. One of the most advanced and groundbreaking games made for that system...and held up to any similar PS2 game to come. It wouldn't surprise me if this game influenced Ubisoft's "Splinter Cell" series that came later, another of my favorites.

Bravo Activision, Sony Music Entertainment, and last but not least, Fromsoft. I bought this game the day it dropped in 1998 and though I loved it, I never beat it. Fantastic!

Whats underrated about this game is its musix, especially on level 4, a str8 vibe tune
