Majesco Entertainment Company today shipped Kengo: Legend of the 9 for the Xbox 360. Developed by Genki, Kengo: Legend of the 9 challenges players to carve out their place in history as nine real samurai warriors from feudal Japan. Kengo: Legend of the 9 is the very first Xbox 360 game published by Majesco.

Kengo: Legend of the 9 features nine real samurai warriors: Musashi Miyamoto, Jubei Yagyu and Sanako Chiba, among others. Each has their own storyline, attack techniques and upgradeable attributes (health, stamina, attack power and defense). Four gameplay modes include: Main Mode with intertwining storylines; Mission Mode with 10 time-based missions loosely based on real historical events; two-player, head-to-head battles in Combat Mode; and Xbox Live Leaderboard where players compete for new equipment and the best ranking against other Xbox Live gamers by pitting AI profiles against each other. By using the environment to their advantage, players can also perform grapple moves that result in cinematic instant kills.

Kengo: Legend of the 9 is currently available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $39.99.
