Game Info:
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins is a 1998 stealth video game developed by Acquire for the PlayStation. The debut entry in the Tenchu series was published in Japan by Sony Music Entertainment Japan and by Activision in the West. Following Rikimaru and Ayame of the Azuma ninja clan as they complete missions for their employer Lord Gohda in Sengoku-era Japan, the gameplay involves the player guiding their chosen character through missions, the aim being to remain undetected while either avoiding or quietly killing enemies. Production began in 1996 as Acquire's first project, with the aim being to create a then-uncommon game using only 3D graphics, in addition to focusing on stealth over action. The team faced multiple technical challenges, and director Takuma Endo ended up taking on multiple roles within the production, including scenario writer. It met with positive reception from game journalists, with praise focusing on its mission design and focus on stealth. It was also a commercial success, selling over one million units worldwide by 2003 and having estimated sales of five million across all versions by 2019.

Music:
The music was composed by Noriyuki Asakura, who would gain notoriety through his work on the Rurouni Kenshin anime adaptation and had worked with the PlayStation hardware on the soundtrack of Crime Crackers. He acted as both composer and arranger, and he used a combination of live and synthesized instruments. Rather than limiting himself to the game's historical period, Asakura blended Japanese musical styles with Chinese, Thai, and Turkish elements to create a new type of Asian music. The goal was to take this musical style and fuse it with Western rock and fusion to defy player expectations about the music.

The lyrics for "Addua" are Hausa, which was used as it sounded romantic and mysterious. Asakura originally intended to use English lyrics, then standard Japanese, but both were rejected as lacking compared to the game's atmosphere. The lyrics were written by Asakura's wife, Sumie, who was also the one who suggested using Hausa.

Plot Summary:
Tenchu is set in Japan's turbulent Sengoku period and follows missions undertaken by the stoic ninja Rikimaru and spirited kunoichi Ayame of the Azuma ninja clan under the employ of the benevolent Lord Gohda, and his daughter Princess Kiku, who treats Ayame as an older sister.

Legacy:
Tenchu was one of a number of titles released in the late 1990s that pioneered the stealth game genre alongside Thief: The Dark Project and Metal Gear Solid. The success of Tenchu helped establish Acquire as a company, though it would also limit their titles to a Japanese aesthetic for some time. Activision demanded a sequel for Western players, which Acquire developed under the title Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins. The title was released in 2000, with Acquire acting as its Japanese publisher. Following Tenchu 2, Activision acquired the Tenchu IP and gave the development of the next title Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, to K2. Acquire would not return to the series until 2008's Tenchu: Shadow Assassins.
