One month has passed since Musashi defeated his sworn enemy, Kojiro. Musashi is on his way to Kyoto to meet his beloved Otsu, but a group of ninjas has been abducting people in the area and Otsu is their latest victim! Now Musashi must fight again, to save his beloved and find out what these ninjas are up to.

You must guide Musashi or his sister, Suzame, around several locations defeating a horde of ninjas with only a sword. Weapon power-ups and life bonuses can be collected along the way. You can jump high and use your grappling hook to attach to and climb some ceilings, as well as attaching yourself to faraway objects. At the end of each location, you must defeat a guardian in order to continue the game. Cut-scenes are viewed between locations.
