Overview
Inindo: Way of the Ninja, or Inindo Datou Nobunaga in Japan, is a fantasy JRPG that is based loosely on the Warring States Era of Japanese history. The premise of the game sees the player control of a band of heroes and mercenaries in a quest to defeat the tyrannical daimyo Nobunaga Oda before he can conquer all of Japan.
Koei developed and published the game for many home systems as a companion for their more realistic Nobunaga's Ambition series of strategy war sims set in the same historical period. It was eventually remade with better graphics for the SNES, where it is known as Super Inindo Datou Nobunaga in Japan.
Gameplay
The game uses a turn-based combat system to fight battles while exploring dungeons. Many of the game's dungeons are optional, but the player must take risks. The game features a time limit, and the player's party must be sufficiently leveled and powered up if Nobunaga is to be defeated before the time limit expires. This means that the player must be willing to take on optional content to increase the party's strength without allowing too much time to pass.
