About this game
Blue Shadow puts one or two ninjas into Garuda’s defenses. A solo player can choose Hayate or Kaede, while two players control the pair. Jumping, crouching and climbing onto overhangs provide ways through the terrain and incoming attacks. The sword is the starting weapon and can gain a larger attack area. Throwing stars offer ranged attacks but have a limited supply; the chain weapon reaches upward or diagonally. The display tracks the remaining uses of limited weapons, making supply part of the next attack decision.
