Nes Longplay Ninja Gaiden II The Dark Sword of Chaos
4A playthrough of Tecmo’s 1990 action platformer for the NES, Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos.
This video shows the complete run through all seven acts of the game:
0:00 Act 1 – Pursuit of Ashtar
1:07 Act 2 – The Frozen North
3:11 Act 3 – Towers of Death
6:13 Act 4 – The Fiend’s Hideout
9:10 Act 5 – The Fiendish Trap
11:50 Act 6 – The Dark Sword of Chaos
13:28 Act 7 – Final Battle with Ashtar
Following the defeat of Jaquio in the first Ninja Gaiden, Ryu Hayabusa faces a new and even greater threat—Ashtar, the dark overlord, has seized the Dark Sword of Chaos and plans to open the Gate of Darkness to unleash an ancient evil upon the world. Joined by CIA agent Irene Lew, Ryu must once again battle through deadly terrain, enemy assassins, and monstrous bosses to stop him.
Building on the tight, fast-paced platforming of the first game, Ninja Gaiden II introduces new stage hazards such as blizzards, heavy winds, and darkness, forcing players to adapt their timing and movement. The game also adds the innovative Shadow Clone technique, allowing Ryu to summon up to two afterimages that mimic his every move and attack, doubling or tripling his offensive power.
The cinematic storytelling that defined the series is back, with cutscenes between acts that drive the narrative forward and raise the stakes with each encounter. While the difficulty is still high, The Dark Sword of Chaos offers more balanced challenge compared to the punishing third game, making it a fan favorite in the trilogy.
Fast-paced action, precision platforming, and a gripping story make Ninja Gaiden II one of the NES’s finest action titles—and a must-play for fans of 8-bit ninja adventures.
No cheats were used during the recording of this video, nor is this intended to be a speedrun of any sort.
