You have to make it through ten levels to rescue a woman (princess, geisha ?). To do this you have to cross the levels and beat all the enemy guards who are defending the captured woman. You only have a limited assortment of techniques at your disposable. Amongst them are the infamous wallrun, the backflip and the quick short slash.

The best way to defeat the guards is of course the silent way. Approach them from behind and retreat. If guards spot you they attack with swords, bows and lances and they will most of the time beat you. It also means that your rating for that level will be reduced. You only get a master rating if you have not been spotted in a level at all.

You do receive a final rating after all levels which surely adds to the replay value of the game. It does not take long to complete levels, just the right game for a short break.
