[TAS] PSX Tenchu: Stealth Assassins (Japan) by NhatNM in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2648M
TAS originally published on 2014-07-26
It is 16th century Japan and you are one of two ninja employed by Lord Gohda, an uniquely compassionate samurai lord. As either Rikimaru or Ayame, you must proceed through your assigned quests, at first dispatching the amoral and unsavory folk in your lord's domain. As the game progresses, you will come face to face with greater threats from tengu goblins and oni demons.
A full 3D game in the Tomb Raider spirit, Tenchu focuses on stealth and attacking unseen over straight action. Not being spotted leads to higher scores and better equipment. To aid in this, you can not only creep about and hug walls, but also use your grappling hook.
This run by NhatNM ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/N... ) was done on the Japanese version of the game, Rittai Ninja Katsugeki - Tenchu. Because of significant differences between this version and the USA version, this run was judged not to obsolete the other run ( tasvideos.org/2413M ) of this game.

Ah yes, the legendary Ninjitsu Self-Immolation Technique.

I cried when I watched the last scene. Memories of 15 years ago came rushing back 😢😢😢

[@Wockes]

2160p makes this game look gorgeous.

[@uncannyx]

this isn't stealth assassins. this is before stealth assassins, and its the japanese version, in this version they were shooting a movie within the game, a ninja movie. and in stealth assassins they turned it into an actual story

[@DattMann]

What is this about it being a movie? I know it's in the name, but the dialogue remains the exact same.

[@danylopez123]

That is the Samus Screw Jump

[@braanimonth5722]

"Disparition ninja !"

[@MarcioFerreiraRosa]

Parece que os recursos não permitiram um final de qualidade... mas o jogo em si é muito bom.

[@fifoffjfufs]

The ending was surprisingly tragic.

[@unknownamazingchap2355]

It's awesome how he instantly kills Echigoia before he escapes! I tried to do do this so many times but he escapes while his gaurd attacks me!

[@SirioNovilunium]

That's because this is the very first Japanese version of Tenchu. Echigoya didn't run away and you had to fight him and his bodyguard (Hanbe) at the same time.
