Inindo: Way of the Ninja

About

Inindo: Way of the Ninja drops you in feudal Japan as the last survivor of a clan wiped out by warlord Nobunaga. Guide your hero across a hand-drawn world map, exploring villages and descending into dungeons. Battles unfold in turn-based third-person view, letting you maneuver on the grid and swap between close combat and ranged strikes. Build a party by recruiting warriors, spies, and specialists, each joining for their own motives. As you level up, negotiate with feudal rulers to form alliances and take on side missions like infiltration and sabotage. The game stands out for its strategic depth, merging party management with grid-based combat that feels fresh for its time. The ninja lore and political intrigue add layers to the quest for revenge, though the older graphics and dated interface may take some getting used to. A niche title that rewards patience, it offers a gritty take on samurai-era tactics with a focus on cunning over brute force.
