Quick notes
- Hisomu cast. The story follows a single playable ninja and the people shaping his mission.
- Story roles and playstyle roles. A narrative ally is not an equipable combat class.
- Pay attention to dialogue. Ora’s guidance, Azai’s orders and Dosan’s connection to the tattoos frame the mission.
- Keep the ending for a first playthrough. The campaign’s later revelations change how earlier scenes read.
Story roles and playstyle roles
| Connection | Where it matters | Useful distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Ninja and Ora | Mission guidance | Companion dialogue rather than a second playable character |
| Ninja and Azai | Clan obligations | Orders shape the campaign |
| Ninja and Dosan | Tattoo story | Powers carry narrative consequences |
| Ninja and Karajan | Central conflict | Target information develops through the missions |
