Originally released for the [[PC8801]]SR, [[PC9801]], [[MSX2]] [[home computer]], it was remade for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] platform, which was released in [[North America]]. The game is a non-historical account of [[Japan|Japan's]] [[Sengoku period|warring states period]]. In that sense, ''Inindo'' can be considered as a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] of the long-standing ''[[Nobunaga's Ambition]]'' series. == Story == The player assumes the role of an [[Iga Province|Iga]] [[ninja]] whose village has been destroyed by the conquest of [[Oda Nobunaga]]. The ninja must travel across [[feudal Japan]], enlisting the aid of numerous ninja, sages, hermits, ronin, samurai, wizards and other companions, in order to avenge his clan. == Gameplay == Several hazardous dungeons stand in the path of victory, as well as a selection of optional dungeons which can be played in any order the player chooses. Encounters with monsters and outlaws occur randomly in dungeons and in the game's world map, during which the player characters and [[Non-player character|NPCs]] can move around the battlefield in turn-based fashion to attack, cast magic spells and use items. The main character can also participate in battles of a larger scale. By gaining the trust of a Japanese [[daimyo|feudal lord]], he can join in the battle for the provinces that characterized the era. The outcome of these battles changes the lords' possession of individual provinces, which can alter the outcome of the game and aid or hinder the player's progress. In the middle of the stories, the player follows either the "normal" path or the "magician" path, which is randomly selected after completing the first dungeon quest. Each path leads to different enemies during random encounters. For example, "magician" path causes Western type monsters such as [[Hellhound]] or [[Marchosias]] to appear. == Localization changes == Due to the small size of SNES cartridge, character names are shortened. === Major class names === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Japanese !! English |- |忍者 || Ninja |- |僧侶 || Sage |- |道士 || Wizard |- |侍 || Warrior |- |} === Class names === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Japanese !! English |- | 伊賀忍者 || [[Iga-ryū|Iga Ninja]] |- | 甲賀忍者 || [[Kōga-ryū|Koga Ninja]] |- | 伊賀女 || Female Iga Ninja |- | 甲賀女 || Female Koga Ninja |- | 風魔衆 || [[Fūma Kotarō|Fuma Ninja]] |- | 根来衆 || [[Oniwabanshū|Negoro Ninja]] |- | 僧侶 || Mendicant |- | 僧兵 || [[Sōhei|Sohei]] |- | 山伏 || Hermit |- | 羅漢 || Sage |- | 道士 || Mystic |- | 方士 || [[Fangshi|Magician]] |- | 飯綱使い || Sorcerer |- | 武士 || [[Samurai]] |- | 浪人 || [[Ronin]] |- | 剣術家 || Swordsman |- |} == Windows version == The Chinese version was ported to MS-DOS in 1993, playable in English OS. In 2003, the PC-9801 version of the game was ported to Windows 98, as part of ''Koei 25th Anniversary Pack Vol.1''; standalone version was published in 2005. The Windows version runs the PC-9801 game in emulator; when saving, the emulator emulates drive switching operation. The port requires the use of mouse and the 3rd scenario is inaccessible because of running in emulated environment. == See also == * ''[[Shinobido: Way of the Ninja]]'' == External links == * {{moby game|id=/inindo-way-of-the-ninja|name=''Inindo: Way of the Ninja''}} * {{jp icon}} [http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/products/products/ee/teiban200507/index.htm Koei game info page] * {{jp icon}} [http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/campaign/25th/pack.htm Koei game info page (compilation)]
