If there are a lot of enemies you may want to increase your health or strength and decrease your agility. You can also purchase new skills and shift your attributes a bit to help you cope with the level you're getting ready to attempt. Here you can buy and equip new items, weapons, and clothes. Before you get around to picking a level you'll find yourself in your own village. You also get to customize a second ninja, but other than watching them occasionally pop up in some cutscenes, you'll never get to see them and their presence is never explained. The game starts with you picking your character's sex and then customizing his or her outfit. Basically all you need to know is that you're a ninja trying to stop a bad guy who traffics an illegal drug and wants to take over your town. While there may be plenty of story, it's difficult to follow because you only have to play certain missions to beat the game, which means you only get the highlights of the story and none of the small details that hold it together.
Tenchu Z's story is told by cutscenes that take place before and after each one of its 50 missions. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
