Ninjvember: Let's Play Sengoku
Our first feature for this month is an obscure video game from SNK by the name of Sengoku. Sengoku (or Sengoku Denshou) has you play the role of two samurai (one from the east, other from the west) and you fight against the forces of Nobunaga Oda and his hordes from hell. You gain the help of three unlikely allies in your quest: the Time Ninja, the Time Wolf and the Time Samurai. You can take their forms but only for 60 seconds, after which you will revert to your original form and continue onwards. You also gain powerups from different orbs:
Red-single katana
Blue-double katana
Purple-two handed katana
Yellow-Fist Wave
Seeing as it's the first in this series, it isn't bad and can only get better afterwards, I recommend trying this game (if you haven't found an arcade port of it) and have fun with it.
