Description

Shadow Dancer for the Sega Master System delivers a streamlined yet thrilling version of Sega’s arcade hit, combining classic ninja gameplay with a unique companion mechanic. Players step into the role of a skilled ninja tasked with dismantling a powerful terrorist group threatening the city. What sets this adventure apart is the inclusion of your canine partner, who helps subdue enemies and opens opportunities for swift takedowns.
