Editor note

Note that the protagonists is neither a ninja or a samurai, that's not a ninjatō he's wielding, but those are deadly shuriken he's throwing.

The save password system is accessible from the start menu by pressing up. This is not exactly a secret because it is described extensively in the manual. The plot of this game revolves around searching for pieces the demon sword refereed to in the title. The protagonist can cast magical like spells. Certain elements of the game suggest it is of the wuxia genre.

The Japanese and USA releases are different. The Japanese version has 6 more stages, more bosses, more items and spells, more cut scenes and more text.
