Developed by ACQUIRE Corp. and published by
Spike Co.,Ltd in 2006, Shinobido
Takumi is a stand-alone expansion for
Shinobido Imashime focusing solely on the
Mission Editor feature.
Like ACQUIRE's earlier Tenchu expansion,
Shinobi Hyakusen, Shinobido Takumi is
a compilation of top user-submitted missions
created with Imashime's Mission
Editor.
Takumi also features 10 playable characters in
addition to Imashime's original
two.
The main campaign of Takumi consists of a
series of scrolls, each representing
a tower consisting of several missions. Clearing
these scrolls unlocks extra
playable characters and bonus features and
generally missions become more
difficult the higher up the tower they are.
Later, advanced scrolls become
unlocked as well. The total combined missions
from all tower scrolls comes to
130.
Takumi comes with the Mission Editor as well
as Imashime's 40 Disc Missions.
Additionally, Takumi has 15 new Disc
Missions, bringing the total to 55. Takumi
is also compatible with missions made with
Imashime's Mission Editor and the
new characters can be used in them.
Sadly Takumi recieved a limited release and
never was localized outside of
Japan. However it is perfectly playable without
understanding Japanese and this
guide is intended to make it a little easier and
enjoyable to play. Note that
this guide will not give you step by step
instructions on how to beat missions.
I also do not cover the mission editor itself
though that certainly could use
its own FAQ...
