Encyclopedia
Shadow Assault: Tenchu is a downloadable video game in the Tenchu
series for the Xbox 360
via Xbox Live Arcade
, developed and released by From Software
in 2008.
The game places the player in charge of one of several selectable characters from the Tenchu
universe. Players are given a task to complete on the level, playing out much like Bomberman
, where players must place ninja traps and other items on the field for enemies to run afoul of.
Enemies in the game have a hit point total, displayed above their heads, and a line of sight grid, shown as yellow squares over the regular terrain. When a player is spotted by a unit, its sight turns to red squares, and it begins to chase the player. After a time, if the player has yet to be reacquired by the enemy, it will return to its original pathfinding.
