Here is an overview of the game, via Shueisha Games:
About
Infiltrate, deceive, survive.
Your group of four Shinobi will need to work together to escape near-certain death in this hardcore stealth action game.
What is Yakoh Shinobi Ops?
Four Shinobi lurk in the darkness. They silently dash across the land like shadows in the night.
What awaits your team of Shinobi at the end of their operation? Is it paradise? Or almost certain death? True Shinobi do not need to kill their opponents. Use your skills to conceal yourselves and deceive your enemies.
The undying Pursuers are hot on your trail. The only way to survive is to avoid them at all costs. For only when a Shinobi has returned alive is their operation truly complete.
ACQUIRE, the pioneer of the stealth action genre, has teamed up with Shueisha Games to bring you a four-player ninja game unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Welcome to the new generation of Shinobi stealth action.
Blend Into the Night and Infiltrate Enemy Territory
Your operation will take you behind enemy lines where the watchful eyes of their sentries and countless traps await you and your team.
Reaching your destination will take careful teamwork, and require each Shinobi to call on the skills they’ve mastered.Move as the shadows.
Synchronize with your fellow Shinobi and fade into the darkness to avoid detection.
A split-second misstep can cost Shinobi their lives. Search for clues and make your way deep into the enemy’s stronghold.
Use Unique Ninjutsu to Overcome the Impossible
Each Shinobi has access to their own unique Ninjutsu. “Grappling hooks to reach high places.” “Smash through walls to open up new paths.” “Smokescreens to support allies.” “Flash grenades to distract foes.”
Each Shinobi must understand their role and act in perfect sync. What one cannot achieve alone, four can accomplish together. So press on!
Avoid the Specter of Death to Return Alive
Merely completing the operation isn’t enough. Shinobi must return alive to truly fulfill their duty. Avoid the specter of death and make a desperate escape. Work together with your team and use every method at your disposal to escape—to survive. Overcoming such trials is the way of the Shinobi.
Escape the Keen Gaze of the Undying “Hunters”
Fighting the “Hunters” head-on would spell certain demise for your Shinobi. Avoid this deathly specter to achieve your noble mission. This white-knuckle pursuit delivers a stealth experience unlike anything you’ve faced.
