Sie sind Hayato, ein furchtloser Samurai-Krieger. Es ist Ihre Aufgabe, das gestohlene Schwert und die gestohlenen Schriftrollen zurückzuholen… und das Böse zu besiegen, das Sie im Schwarzen Schloß erwartet!
It was a land of peace and plenty…until the evil Warlocks returned in a storm of ruin and destruction! Now, they have struck the final blow by stealing your heritage…the Sword of the Dragon King and the Five Secret Scrolls. You are Hayato. The blood of the Dragon King runs in your veins. Armed only with a samurai sword, you must travel through the sixteen provinces of ancient Japan, battling the Warlocks and their monstrous armies in nightmare caves and castles! If you defeat the Warlocks, you will learn the sword magic of the Scrolls and…maybe…regain the Sword of the Dragon King. Fail, and your country is doomed to a thousand centuries of terror! It is a battle only you can win!

I often find myself calling this game the samurai version of the classic game, Shinobi. Maybe not as well known this game does have that classic 'land of the rising sun' feel. This game did for the samurai as what Shinobi did for ninjas. Kenseiden is quite a challenge to complete. Not just in skill, but sitting down and getting through all sixteen rounds! You start out with some simple attacked, and the levels seems to move from one to another. At first that is, because this game also has some cool features. After you clear round two the country map will show two Japanese characters (each a name of a province). There is a total of sixteen provinces and when you clear one you may move to a bordering province. The second is when you fight and beat a warlock you obtain a scroll that lets you do even more cool tricks! Complete with spots to train your skills. It does take a good sit down though to get though. Walking back and forth across the map trying to collect all the scrolls so fighting the final boss isn't such a pain. Sort of game that take some real dedication and a whole afternoon. […] This game is quite a title that should have gotten more credit. Maybe it was the whole sixteen rounds with no password, but then so was Wonder boy. Still if you want a good counter part of Shinobi then you might want to try this game! Filled with classic demons and evil warlocks this is a must have for anyone looking for a good Sega game! - www.smstributes.co.uk
Auch wenn ich persönlich von Kenseiden sehr angetan bin, würde ich es insgesamt nicht als absoluten Referenztitel auf dem Master System bezeichnen. Dazu hätte es mehr Feinarbeit und weiterer Spielelemente bedurft. Ein wenig mehr Nachsicht gegenüber dem Spieler, was den Schwierigkeitsgrad angeht, hätte auch nicht geschadet. Nichtsdestoweniger ist es ein unterhaltsamer und herausstechender Titel. Fans von Shinobi, First Samurai oder Ninja Gaiden greifen zu; wer an Japan interessiert ist oder einfach die Prunkstücke der Master System Bibliothek schon durch hat, sollte wirklich einen Blick riskieren. - www.Nexgam.de
