Kaze Kiri (風霧), also known as Kaze Kiri: Ninja Action, is a hack and slash developed and published by Naxat Soft for the PC Engine CD-ROM² in 1994 only in Japan.

Plot

Princess Shizu (静姫 Shizuhime) has been kidnapped and imprisoned in the castle of the evil Hiei (飛影). The young ninja Kaze Kiri (風霧) is sent to infiltrate Hiei's castle and rescue Shizuhime. The female ninja Suzu (鈴) is also available after completing the game once.

Reception

Kaze Kiri received a mediocre score of 23/40 from Famitsu.[1] It is famous for its reputation as a rare and valuable item among game collectors.[2][3][4][5] Retro Gamer highlighted it as one of the most memorable games about Japanese warriors, opining it "perhaps doesn't quite live up to the hype generated by its rare status and price tag - its gameplay will lack variety for some - but is and undeniably stylish game that deserves greater exposure."[6] Kurt Katala from Hardcore Gaming 101 classified it among "pretty good but definitely overpriced".[7]
