It borrows the name of the famed comrade-in-arms of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a recurring figure in kabuki theater and classical Japanese literature, and carries it into a side-scrolling action game made for the PC Engine's HuCard format. Like much of the folklore-inspired software the console tried in its early years, it prioritizes direct action over historical fidelity.
It's a title that stayed confined to the Japanese market and today interests mainly those closely following the PC Engine's early catalog, still feeling out its identity.
