Kagerou Densetsu is a Role-Playing game, developed by ITL and published by Pixel Multimedia, which was released in Japan in 1990.

Kagerou Densetsu, literally translating to something like Shadow Wolf Adventures, sticks you in the role of three ninjas. You must go travel around an overworld, locating 4 enemy ninja and killing them all, as well as locating upgrades and magic spells and slowly levelling up your skills. Eventually, you can take on the leader of the shadowy forces oppressing your world.

Battle takes place in a stereotypical side-planar view. In addition to swinging your sword and throwing limited amounts of shuriken, you can also use magic spells that you discover throughout the world.

Kagerou Densetsu has an overworld map 48 screens big, 6 screens high by 8 screens wide. As you go around, you will see multiple villages, red torii (Japanese Shinto shrines), and occasional other landmarks.

Some of the villages and landmarks offer useful items, such as Magic Spells and free health restore, but the majority of them, along with all the torii, offer ONLY information. Understanding where the ones are that offer free health or Capsule replacements is useful when attempting a level grind, however.

Exploring will also get you to the four Devas that serve as the henchmen of the game's main boss. Interestingly enough, you only need to fight one of them (the Flame Deva) along with the main boss to win the game, but as the Flame Deva can be extremely difficult, it is best to tackle the three other Devas first and level up several levels first.
