Story:Tenchu Z is an action-adventure stealth video game. It is different from previous games in the series in that the player creates their own ninja characters, then builds up their skills as they play through the game rather than choosing from a small selection of pre-made characters, as they take orders from the series' previous main male character, Rikimaru.Show more

Tenchu Z, while not officially related to Sekiro, is basically a proto-spiritual-predecessor to that game, and I love it! The fact that I could create a Ninja Duo to do Mission-styled levels was amazing, and I'm still upset that it's locked to the Xbox 360 to this day! Please make this happen, GOG! You will have an instant "Shut up and take my money!" situation with me if you do!
This is the only title I've played out of the franchise so far; it holds pretty well to this day personally and I actually didn't know there were more titles until I found out about them online and I thought that was awesome, I'd be over the moon if this title and the rest of them were released on GOG because I want to give the other titles a crack for sure.

Got it on xbox 360 recently. Having played the entire Tenchu series on ps1/ps2, this title looked dreamlike. Never have I seen so many mechanics that perfectly fit the ninja fantasy. It was a pretty difficult find at the time, so I settled for other stealth titles that were equally as wonderful, like Splinter Cell & MGS. Having played it now, I can say it is hands down a gem! We should all be able to play this game for the sake of preservation and keeping the fanbase alive.

Played it recently in my xbox 360. Too bad it is not backwards compatible in later consoles. It has a multiplayer mode but I do not have friends with this game and console. The main campaign is pretty good by itself anyways.
