TheTenchu (wrath of heaven) Sample Pack is titled after our favorite Ninja video game and a tribute to the music from classic kung fu flicks, anime and games. Throughout Hip Hop history the legends have sampled Eastern music to create classics (RZA and DJ Premier for example), this is our tribute to that sound.

Eleven full length compositions featuring a variety of traditional live instruments like the Guzheng, Erhu, Bawu, Koto, Shakuhachi as well as bass, guitar, drums, flute, string, horns, piano and rhodes to make these samples sound as authentic as possible!


Initially published by Activision until FromSoftware bought the rights to the series in 2004. Acquire themselves only worked on the original pair of PlayStation games and the fourth game in the series Tenchu: Shadow Assassins for the Wii. Other companies took on development duty for the other entries, with K2 LLC being the main torchbearer with Acquire focusing on a new ninja franchise, Shinobido.


If you have a sword in your inventory you can battle enemies by waving the WiiMote to match what is on screen to attack or deflect attacks which is wholly unsatisfying. Motion controls are used liberally to make you dash from spot to spot and for performing stealth kills, which if performed incorrectly cause you to fail the kill. The PSP version thankfully changes these to button presses and is therefore the better option.


The third main Tenchu game made the jump to the sixth generation consoles and picks up after the first game, with Rikimaru presumed dead after hoisting a boulder to allow Ayame and Princess Kiku to escape after defeating Lord Mei-Oh. The game introduced various mystical elements like sorcerers and actual magic to the series that up until this point had been very grounded in reality.


Control was much improved over the PlayStation prequels and moment to moment gameplay was better thanks to the lack of fog. Being able to see enemies from further than a few feet away makes all the difference!


The fog that plagued a lot of original PlayStation games rears its ugly head here just as it does in Tenchu 2 and in much the same way that Silent Hill used it to increase that games atmosphere, Tenchu tries to do that too. It can be a little bit too intrusive here though unfortunately although you do get used to it, but it can cause many a swear word to leave your lips when you drop from a roof ready to stealth-kill someone only to be scuppered by an enemy JUST out of sight.


K2 LLC who made the majority of the non-Acquire titles are a subsidiary of Capcom and most recently made the 3D Samurai Shodown Sen way back in 2010. Acquire themselves moved on from Tenchu to make a new ninja series, Shinobido, which had entries on the PS2, PSP and the Vita. Perhaps FromSoftware might return to Tenchu at some point in the future, despite the spottiness of the spin-off titles, the series still has plenty to offer in my opinion.


I know right? To say there are only four main entries, the amount of spin-off/side entries is funny. Outside of Tenchu Z and the DS entry they are all interesting even if they suffer a bit from their age.


Unfortunately all of the games are only available physically except for Shadow Assault: Tenchu which you can still get digitally via the Xbox 360 Store and is playable via Backwards Compatibility on the Xbox One.


Hope you read this .But maybe they don't need to make a original game because ratings of tenchu were always low but maybe they can make a tenchu relating to current generation .maybe tenchu online for friends to talk and strategies and go kill bad guys .or maybe a last man standing where friends can jump on buildings and stuff and go sneak up on each other and kill each other


I think Sekiro will end up incorporating some elements of the original series but I still think a single player Tenchu could work fine in 2019. An online multiplayer ninja game could also be really neat though I agree!


Yeah a single person would work.good and people.think it can't compete with games like souls and Bloodborne but it can with current technology and graphics etc I personally think it's one of the best game ever and it's bad ratings are only because of graphics that's all


I agree with the list. Tenchu Fatal Shadow is the best of the series even with no Rikimaru. Ayame, though weaker, still can be awesome to play with and enjoyable. From Software should do something about this series after Sekiro.


I think they should make another Tenchu game. It should have the same controls and movement as Tenchu 1 and Tenchu 2. This enables you to see the whole world from the Ninja's point of view!What makes Tenchu great is the fact that a real Ninja (Sho Kosugi) helped to make the game. He created the movement and deadly combat techniques. Everything about it is authentic and with today's graphics it would be even more great!!! Sho Kosugi or even Ninja Grandmaster Jinichi Kawakami should help make the game to ensure its authenticity and real deadly Ninja techniques of bone breaking, Ninja weapons combat and stealth kills etc. The Tenchu series has always been my favourite games and l saw Tenchu Z gameplay a few weeks ago on YouTube and immediately fell in love with it!!! I immediately ordered the game online and had it delivered to my home! I got it a few days ago. The game is great and l love the graphics and stealth skills! The thing I also like most is the fact that l can design and edit what my Ninja looks like. Obviously, l always choose the traditional all black Ninja suit with only the eyes exposed!! Then l head off into the knight to rid the world of evil.I cannot wait for a new real Tenchu! I don't even care about Sekiro! I am a Tenchu fan till the day that l die!


Tenchu Stealth Assassins is one of my all time favorite games. The soundtrack is simply amazing. I never got around playing Fatal Shadows but now that I recently got a PS2 again I'm definitely going to play it.


I didn't know there were soo many tenchu games. I really loved played Tenchu Z though, so I might have to fight you on your rankings but thanks a lot for the article. Maybe I should check out Tenchu Fatal Shadows for starters.


The soundtracks for all the main Tenchu games are fantastic. Understated but really atmospheric. I have a soft spot for the original Tenchu too, I have a lot of memories connected to that game! Reply Michael Guerra - 10:28pm, 16th June 2020 I was a real ninja fanatic when I was a kid in the '80's as were I'm sure lots of people from my generation.. From what I recall the holy grail of games I had on C64 was in fact The Last Ninja.. I suppose you could say the spiritual successor to this was in fact the Tenchu series although incorporating more sim elements as ninjas are supposed to be more stealthy..


My favorite as far as gameplay was Shadow Assassin's on PSP which I thought was really done brilliantly.. Although some titles may not be necessarily new there are plenty of great ones on the market in the ninja genre or similar.. Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Nioh, and soon Ghost of Tsushima among others.. I also think it'd be great if we got another Tenchu reboot somewhere down the line preferably based on Sho Kosugi's films..


Fatal shadows is definitely the best one honestly and if they do end up making any remakes/remasters or new games they need to build off the formula of that game. Imagine Tenchu 2 with that gameplay. also Tenchu wrath of heaven needs to be higher honestly that game is a CLASSIC!
