Playing & Learning
Do I need to have played earlier SHINOBI games?
No. The guides on this site do not assume any knowledge of earlier games. The series began in arcades in 1987 and Joe Musashi has been its hero since then, but this site focuses on SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance itself. Newcomers can start with the getting started guide.
Is SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance a single-player game?
SEGA's product information lists the game as a one-player title. This site does not cover multiplayer because no multiplayer mode is described in that information.
Does this site contain story spoilers?
Story coverage is limited to the opening premise from official descriptions: Joe Musashi's village is burned, his clan is turned to stone and he sets out for vengeance. Anything beyond that would be clearly labelled as a spoiler before it appears.
How are the guides written?
Guides are original fan-written text. Game facts are limited to details confirmed by official descriptions, and advice is presented as general suggestions rather than guaranteed strategies. Read more on the About page.
