Ikki

In Ikki, players control Gonbe, a farmer caught in an uprising against his feudal lord. A second player can join as Gonbe’s friend, Tago.

Viewed from a top-down perspective, the game features four locations to explore. Players must collect every gold coin, or koban, in a stage before progressing. The feudal lord’s ninjas and other minions attack throughout each area.

Players defend themselves by throwing scythes and can also find useful items, including a bamboo spear, a movement-speed boost, and an extra life.
