Play Ninja Gaiden II - The Dark Sword of Chaos Online
Ryu's back with wall-climbing and shadow clones to fight Ashtar's chaos. Brutal action, dynamic levels (blizzards, pitch-black storms), and yes, more dramatic ninja cutscenes.

Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos came out for the NES in 1990, developed by Tecmo. It arrived late in the console's life, a time when developers were pushing the hardware to its limits. This sequel built on the foundation of the first game, offering more of the fast-paced, cinematic action the series was known for.
You control Ryu Hayabusa, navigating side-scrolling stages filled with enemies and environmental hazards. Your main goal is to stop the demon Ashtar from plunging the world into chaos. The game introduces new mechanics like the ability to cling to certain walls and create shadow clones that mimic your attacks. Combat is swift and demanding, relying on your sword, shurikens, and occasional power-ups like the windmill throw. The pacing is relentless, with enemies spawning from all directions and levels that feature dynamic obstacles, such as blinding snowstorms or crumbling platforms. Playing it feels like a constant test of reflexes and pattern recognition, where every jump and slash must be deliberate.
