Gameplay

The game allows players to choose between Rikimaru and Ayame, two ninja assassins sent out to save a princess. There are more than 40 missions, as well as local wireless multiplayer combat and Wi-Fi capabilities which can be used to trade, buy and sell items around the world.

Reception

Tenchu: Dark Secret met with a negative response from critics. Game Rankings, a website that catalogues review scores from numerous sources to produce scoring averages, calculated an average of 34.35% based on the reviews.[1] Common complaints from these reviews noted that Tenchu: Dark Secret has very little directly in common with the original console games, including the lack of the grappling hook, a non-traditional camera angle (top-down instead of from behind the back), poor graphics, and underwhelming Wi-Fi features.
