Unlike the previous games, lighting is also a factor here as the protagonist is less likely to be spotted while standing or crouching in a dark area. They can also smell the protagonist if he or she falls into a cesspool (only found during some missions after the protagonist emerges from the cesspool, a brown haze surrounds him/her, indicating that the player can be detected by smell at a certain distance) or is covered with blood from an earlier fight (indicated with 嗅 kagu "to smell"). Certain skills can be upgraded twice, enhancing the protagonist's abilities beyond those of the characters from previous games.Įnemies can now hear the protagonist's footsteps if he or she runs too close to them (indicated with 聴 kiku "to hear") and they may hear the footsteps from a greater distance if the protagonist runs on noisy surfaces such as a puddle of water. The unlockable skills however are more varied, with most of them making their first appearance in the series while others return from previous games with some tweaks. Only one fighting style is available: a ninjato that can either be set with slower but more damaging attacks (the same as Rikimaru's in previous games) or faster and weaker attacks with different animations. The main difference is that players create their own character and unlock new skills, items and clothing for him or her as the game progresses. Gameplay is relatively the same as the previous games in the series.
In between thwarting country of Ogawara's plans, the protagonist also receives missions in which he or she eliminates "evil" people such as abusive monks, gangsters and greedy merchants. As a new recruit in the Azuma clan, the protagonist is sent to assassinate those who are assisting Nagayori Ogawara, including army officials and spies who have infiltrated the House of Gohda, as well as recover stolen items and rescue prisoners. The House of Gohda, where the Azuma Ninja Clan of ninja reside under the service of Lord Gohda, is on the brink of war with the neighboring country of Ogawara. Characters also have different attributes (which are strength, agility and health) that can be altered to the player's liking. The game contains 50 missions with different difficulty settings and objectives.
It features four-player cooperative play through Xbox Live.
It is different from previous games in the series in that the player creates their own ninja characters, then builds up their skills as they play through the game rather than choosing from a small selection of pre-made characters, as they take orders from the series' previous main male character, Rikimaru. Tenchu One Thousand Wars ( 天誅 千乱, - Tenchū Senran ?), released in North America as Tenchu Z, is the eighth game in the Tenchu series.
