MORE ABOUT NIGHTSHADE:
Tokyo is beginning the slow and tedious process of repairs after defeating
Hiruko's demon minions. Just as life is returning to normal, a new rift
opens between Earth and the demon realm. Unwilling to take such supernatural
threats lightly, the Japanese government enlists the talents of Hibana,
a
skilled kunoichi ("female ninja") with a keen understanding
of both martial
and mystical arts. As Hibana, players will battle countless demonic
foes
within a wide assortment of unique urban environments spanning rooftops,
construction sites, industrial factories and more. |
