Musya: The Classic Japanese Tale of Horror

Summary

Action platformer developed by Jorudan and published by Datam Polystar for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was translated into English by Seta U.S.A.. Musya was released in Japan on April 21, 1992 and in North America in December 1992. The name Musya is romanized by the English translators in the Kunrei-shiki style (Musya) instead of the Hepburn romanization style (Musha).

Storyline

Musya follows a pikeman (described as a spearman in the Japanese version and a pikeman in the English version) named Imoto (Jinrai (神雷) in the Japanese version), who must descend to the abyss to save Shizuka, a maiden. After Imoto survives a battle in which all other combatants perish, he travels to Tengumura Village, where he collapses. The mayor, Akagi (who is not named in the Japanese version), greets Imoto and tells him that Shizuka (しずか) needs to be rescued. Imoto heads into Tengumura Cavern (known in the Japanese version as Kihōshōnyūdō (鬼宝鍾乳洞)).
