Shien's Revenge is an action adventure game where you play as Shien the ninja. The game scrolls horizontally or vertically automatically, so you control only Shien using his weapons, long-range shuriken (throwing stars) and a close-range dagger to defeat various enemy ninjas and creatures that appear on the screen. You have life meter indicated by a set of candles. Power-ups such as rapid fire and scrolls can be picked up while defeating enemies. The use of scrolls produces a powerful attack that damages everything on the screen. At the end of each area, you must face a boss who will run out of life if you defeat it.
Shien's Revenge was released for the Super Nintendo in 1994 and is a first-person shooter with action-adventure elements.
