About

The Legend of Kage is a 1985 arcade game by Taito and was released for several contemporary video game home systems in 1986.

The player is armed with a kodachi shortsword and an unlimited amount of shuriken.

Grabbing a crystal ball causes the player character's Kage's clothes to change to the next level in colour and thereby attain certain powers (bigger shuriken and/or faster speed); if Kage is hit while in green or orange clothes, he does not die but revert to his normal red clothes.
