And so begins Mystic Defender from Sega, the company's attempts to make their own version of Shinobi, with magic.Set in an alternate version of Edo-period Japan, the player assumes the role of Joe Yamato, a ninja sorcerer (hell yes!) equally adept in ninja skills as he is in using magic. When an Evil Wizard named Zareth kidnapped Alexandra, the Love Interest of Joe, in order to sacrifice her for obtaining unlimited power, Joe must fight his way to Azuchi castle, where Zareth's lair is located, to confront him.This game was, interestingly, originally meant to be adapted from the then-recent Peacock King, but was re-tooled into an original story by Sega via Divorced Installment. Multiple similarities between the game and anime could be seen however, from the spells to the design of enemies and the characters. | |

| Mystic Defender (Video Game) / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Playing with Fire: The Fire power-up, obtainable halfway through the first level, turns Joe's energy blasts into a stream of flames. And he can manipulate the fire to change directions or circle around him, dealing far greater damage to mooks. | |

Boss-Arena Idiocy: The first boss is fought in a forest, where his Rolling Attack would be impossible to dodge (if not really, really hard) if not for the trees having plenty of branches Joe can jump on. | |

Spider People | |
| Mystic Defender (Video Game) / int_42259839 | comment |
Spider People: A variant - this game have were-spider enemies, presumably as result of Zareth's corruption on the members of his cult. They're the cloaked, cultist-looking mooks wearing masks, and when they fold their cloaks together they then turn from humans to a Giant Spider form. Even in their human forms they repeatedly pounces up and down with their hands bent in a clawed position, somewhat resembling a jumping spider, and a dozen of them can even pull a Fusion Dance into becoming a giant Sand Worm! | |

Helping Hands | |
| Mystic Defender (Video Game) / int_494d83c8 | comment |
Helping Hands: One of the game's weirder enemies are gigantic, draconic-looking hands ending at the wrist, who jankily floats around while trying to claw at Joe. Alternatively, their palms can produce an exploding projectile which they then drop on Joe when above him. | |

Sand Worm | |
| Mystic Defender (Video Game) / int_5261369c | comment |
Sand Worm: A giant green worm-like creature whose body is in multiple attacks Joe early in the first stage, but it can be easily taken out since it's an early Mini-Boss. The fourth stage have Joe fighting two giant intestinal worms who periodically stick their heads out the pool of acid they're in to attack Joe. They're far more durable than the one from early in the game, can regurguaite acid and far trickier to beat. Also, the spider-cultists can Fusion Dance themselves into gigantic worm-like heads sticking from the ground. | |

Magic Knight | |
| Mystic Defender (Video Game) / int_58204b95 | comment |
Magic Knight: Joe Yamato is as good at casting attacking spells as he is at kicking ass, running and jumping all over the place. Then again, he's a ninja-sorcerer. Zareth himself is no slouch either, as the penultimate battle shows. He attacks mainly with a sword and casts a colourful collection of spells by swishing his blade, and puts up quite a fight before he goes down. | |

True Final Boss | |
| Mystic Defender (Video Game) / int_8029fa50 | comment |
True Final Boss: After defeating Zareth, the game somehow continues a bit, with Joe fighting a handful of mook-level enemies while making his way to the next area - the actual last boss, a pillar of bodies created by Zareth's magic. Which Joe must defeat to end the game. | |

Shameful Strip: When you eventually found Alexandra after defeating Zareth, she's nude. Whether she's naked because of this trope or she needs to be in the nude to be used for Zareth's spells isn't explained. | |

Hand Blast: Joe, being a ninja trained in mystical arts and all that, fire blue energy blasts from his hands as his default ranged attack, in place of firearms used by these type of games. He can even hold down his energy bolt as a Charged Attack to deliver a far more powerful hit, provided if he can remain still and not being swarmed by enemies. | |
