Shinobido 2 Revenge of Zen is the sequel to the previous opus, featuring the series' trademark stealth gameplay with the addition of new stylish ninja moves and a dynamic storyline. The story is set six months after the events of Shinobido: Way of the Ninja, with the Utakata region once again at the centre of the storm and embroiled in a civil war involving the mysterious Magic Mirror. Players will take the role of Zen, a man who has suffered betrayal at the hands of his companions and the loss of his home. Saved by the Asuka Ninja clan of Utakata, Zen makes up his mind to live as a ninja and begins a perilous journey in search of revenge.
