Kesamaru is a platformer released in 1992 for the Game Boy. The game's primary objective is to navigate through a series of levels by overcoming various obstacles and enemies to reach the end goal. Players control Kesamaru, a ninja character, who must use agility and timing to successfully progress.
The pace of Kesamaru is moderate, requiring careful jumps and combat moves rather than fast reflexes alone. A distinctive mechanic involves the character’s ability to throw shurikens at enemies, adding a ranged attack component uncommon in many platformers of its time. This mechanic requires players to balance close-quarters movement with projectile strategy.
One unusual aspect of the game is its focus on ninja-themed stealth and combat within a limited handheld format. The distinctive pixel art style and level design contribute to an immersive experience on the Game Boy, emphasizing precision and patience in platform navigation.
