Hissatsu Ura Kagyou

Tomoharu Kimura, the producer of the PS2 Kengo games returns to the PS2 with a new action game which follows the missions of an assassin named Tatewaki Kyoujiro. Mild-mannered physician by day but killing machine during the midnight hours, Tatewaki serves as one member of a troup of village vigilantes who keep the peace. Towards the end of the Edo era under the control of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the financial position of the government declined which led to onerous taxation of the population. Struggling farmers rioted and added to the burden of the governing body and the local daimyo. As the social hierarchy saw destabilization, a population of thugs rose up to exert their corrupt ways and power on the citizenry.
