Inindo - Way of the Ninja Game

Inindo: Way of the Ninja is a hidden gem on the SNES that blends classic RPG storytelling with the stealthy intrigue of feudal Japan. You step into the sandals of a lone ninja seeking vengeance against the warlord Oda Nobunaga—yes, that Oda Nobunaga—who wiped out your clan. But this isn’t just a hack-and-slash revenge tale; it’s a strategic adventure where you’ll recruit allies, master espionage, and even manipulate enemy factions to do your dirty work. The overworld feels alive, with rival warlords scheming in real-time, giving you the freedom to shape history (or exploit it).

What really sets Inindo apart is its mix of turn-based dungeon crawling and open-world diplomacy—think Final Fantasy meets Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but with shurikens. The pixel art oozes nostalgia, and the challenge is just punishing enough to keep you hooked. If you ever dreamed of being a shadowy puppet master in feudal Japan, this is your chance to live out those ninja fantasies—no green tea required.
