9In Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi you play as a ninja with your adorable but fierce sidekick dog as you rescue hostages through five levels, each with multiple stages and a boss battle. You shoot shurikens, swing your sword and use magic. The dog mechanic is well implemented as you can direct it to hold enemies. It's a lot of fun being a ninja, especially with a dog by your side. Although it has single hit deaths and only five levels this is a beautiful game with equally great gameplay.
