Ninja: Shadow of Darkness is a 1998 action video game for the PlayStation, developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive.In the Sengoku era of feudal Japan, a power-hungry warlord, disagreeing to a peace treaty, has awakened the great Shadow Demon in an attempt to take over the land and rule the world. Chaos consumes the land, as the warlord, now in control of demonic forces, ravaged through entire villages and cities, and all hope lies in Kurosawa, the young but skilled ninja-in-training, which you will take control of in a 3-D Beat 'em Up video game spanning one action-packed level after another.The game is known for being notoriously difficult due to numerous platformer elements and instant death traps. | |

After Boss Recovery | |
| Ninja: Shadow of Darkness (Video Game) / int_15df66d9 | comment |
After Boss Recovery: A variation; at the end of each Boss Battle, most of the time the defeated boss will explode into piles and piles of coins and gems, which can be collected to be used in the next immediate area - the provision shop. Those collected loot will come in handy to purchase lives and food if Kurosawa's health is dangerously low after the battle. | |

Only the Chosen May Ride: At the conclusion of the Cloud City boss battle, if the boss is weakened enough, the game will skip to a cutscene showing Kurosawa leaping on its back and riding the boss to escape, leading to the following Beach level. Naturally the Cloud City boss is the only boss that doesn't die in the entire game. | |

Ghost City: The second level is set in an abandoned city swarming with zombies and skeletons. The buildings are falling apart, undead roam the streets, a graveyard takes up half of the city (filled with skeletons and the tombstones can blast intruders with lightning bolts) and the only way out is guarded by a powerful two-headed hellhound. | |

Battles against these monsters are usually inevitable, although they can be taken down easily thanks to Kurosawa's limitless supply of throwing knives. | |

Undead Counterpart: The game has enemy ninjas as mooks, and undead skeletal ninjas in the graveyard and cavern levels. Their stats aren't too different from one another though, having roughly the same amount of health, using their fists and throwing knives in battle, with the only difference being aesthetics-wise. | |

Advancing Boss of Doom | |
| Ninja: Shadow of Darkness (Video Game) / int_409d3c07 | comment |
Advancing Boss of Doom: The Spider Queen (a Queen Mook Boss) at the end of the underground tunnel level, who attacks Kurosawa in a long, narrow corridor. She will chase him down, and the only way for him to damage the queen is to lob throwing knives or energy blasts at her while fleeing. But if she catches Kurosawa, instead of killing him she will ensnare him with her webs, then lay eggs which hatches into multiple baby spiders to attack him. Some button-mashing is required for Kurosawa to break free and defeat the baby spiders (via Goomba Stomp), before the Spider Queen resumes her chase. Rinse and repeat until the Spider Queen's health reach zero. | |

Flunky Boss: The dragon sub-bosses in the mansion are flanked by soldiers working for the warlord. The Spider Queen boss, also a Mook Maker; she will attempt to ensnare Kurosawa with her webs and lay eggs which will hatch into baby spiders that attacks. She is the reason behind the massive number of giant spider mooks consistently encountered in the caverns level. | |

Shockwave Stomp | |
| Ninja: Shadow of Darkness (Video Game) / int_69f4d99b | comment |
Shockwave Stomp: Most of the bosses can do this (by punching the ground), including the first three and the Sumo mercenary (via Belly flop). As well as the Luchadore enemies. On the other hand, one of Kurosawa's default special attacks has him punching the ground, resulting in a huge explosion where he stood which can deal plenty of damage to surrounding enemies. In the final battle, it turns out the Shadow Demon have this attack as well, the only difference being his floor punch's explosion is HUGE. | |

Stationary Boss: The last dragon boss encountered in the mountains doesn't move, only resting itself in the mouth of a massive cave while using its Long Neck to bite, and breath fireballs. The problem here though is that it's stationary body is immune to damage, and it's only major weak spot, it's head, tends to keep moving around. | |

Half the Man He Used to Be: Skeleton mooks, upon receiving enough hits, will break apart from the waist... only for both halves to continue attacking as separate entities! The upper half can only be taken out by a Goomba Stomp while the lower half (a walking pair of skeletal legs that flails around, it's as hilarious as it sounds) can be defeated with some well-placed hits. The wraiths are floating skeleton ghosts who only have half a body from above the waist. | |

Fragile Flyer: Airborne enemies throughout the game (eagles, bats, gargoyles) are, in general, a lot weaker than land-based enemies, all of them lacking the ability to block your punches or flung knives and dying in just a scant handful of hits. There's also a winged T. rex boss — the only boss which remains airborne for the entirety of its fight — and that one has the weakest health, although it's hard to damage since it spends the whole battle swooping everywhere. | |

Tail Slap: The first boss' primary attack. Being a Warmup Boss, its fireballs are relatively easy to dodge, and there are plenty of area in the boss battle arena for Kurosawa to strafe around and chuck throwing knives on the boss. The only challenge is its massive, crocodilian tail which it will use to whack Kurosawa off his feet for getting too close. | |

The warlord himself is pretty much an upgraded version of the samurai mooks. | |

Wings Do Nothing: The Gargoyle King has wings, but due to his massive size, they only allow him to hover a few feet above ground for seconds before he drops back down. It's also easy to knock him out from mid-air with throwing knives. | |

Ninja: But of course. Besides Kurosawa, several enemy mooks are ninjas as well. | |

Technicolor Ninjas: All over the place. Kurosawa the ninja wears purple, and throughout the game he fights enemy ninjas dressed in red, blue, green, yellow, gray... the classic black ninjas finally appear in the last level at the entrance of the Shadow Demon's lair. | |

No Name Given: The warlord who summoned the Shadow Demon isn't named, despite being an important villain and The Heavy (the very reason this game exists is because of the pact he made with the demon). Heck, the titular hero isn't named in the game either. His name is revealed to be Kurosawa in the game's manual and supplementary materials. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Ninja: Shadow of Darkness (Video Game) / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: Dragons shows up in the game as sub-bosses and a major boss. Oddly enough, for a game with a Japanese setting in a Sengoku-era period, the dragons Kurosawa battles are Western-inspired ones. Three of them shows up in the warlord's mansion as Mini-Boss enemies, and at the end of the mountain level concludes with a boos fight against an absolutely massive fire-breathing western dragon that looks like a brown Maleficient. | |

Pulling Themselves Together: Averted for the skeleton mooks. They fall apart from the waist after receiving enough hits, but will continue attacking as two separate entities, and anytime two half-skeletons managed to get in contact with each other, they won't reconnect in any way. | |

Made of Explodium: The exploding plants on the beach. (Yes, exploding plants!) The Exploding Barrels that shows up regularly in the game blows up after being hit by... throwing knives. Somehow. Although its a good idea to have Kurosawa lure enemy mooks close to these barrels, and then set the barrels off with his throwing knives. | |

Boss Tease | |
| Ninja: Shadow of Darkness (Video Game) / int_f1737ab0 | comment |
Boss Tease: At least a couple. The Cerberus shows up in the loading screen right at the start of the second level, and doesn't show up until at least twelve minutes of gameplay later (after fighting past an entire ghost city of undead mooks). The third boss originally appears as a statue before a flaming pit surrounded by cultists in the area. Once every cultist is down, a cutscene later the statue comes to life and attacks. | |

Mix-and-Match Critters | |
| Ninja: Shadow of Darkness (Video Game) / int_f5eda11 | comment |
Mix-and-Match Critters: The first boss appears to be a mixture between a Minotaur and a crocodile, having bull-like horns and features, stocky arms and a mammalian body structure, but with reptilian claws, crocodile-like ridges on its back and a massive crocodile tail which is its primary weapon. The boss of the Cloud City is a T-Rex like monster... with dragon-like wings. It looks as ridiculous as it sounds. | |
