Kenseiden is a challenging 1988 action-platformer developed by Sega for the Master System. Set in a dark fantasy version of 16th-century feudal Japan, you play as Hayato, a samurai tasked with retrieving the stolen Sword of the Dragon King and defeating warlocks across various provinces.
How to Play
Navigate non-linear levels and fight through hordes of mythological enemies. You can explore multiple paths on the map screen, allowing you to tackle provinces in different orders. Use the Arrow Keys to move Hayato, press Z to attack with your sword, and X to jump. Press Enter to pause the game.
Tips
Take time to master Hayato’s leaping overhead attack, as it deals significant damage and is essential for safely dispatching tougher enemies. Keep an eye out for hidden training scrolls, which unlock powerful new sword techniques that give you more combat options.
