FromSoftware

Before FromSoftware was making games about dying repeatedly against odds that would make even the bravest warriors question their life choices, they made a game series that debuted on the Playstation about ninjas.

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins played very much like a medieval Metal Gear Solid, if Gray Fox had been the main character. The player is given two options in character, one of which is Ayame.

Ayame is one of the first true female ninjas in games. No magic powers, no fire balls or shadow clones, just stealth, some common devices, and a brutal efficiency with her twin daggers. Her skill and training make sure any who are unlucky enough to find themselves in her path will never see her coming, or live to tell the tale.
