Hissatsu Shigoto Nin

Overview

Hissatsu Shigotonin (Translated: Deadly Work People] was released December 15, 1990 exclusively in Japan for the Famicom. It is based on the popular Japanese historical drama TV series of the same name. The story of both the series and game focuses on a group of ordinary "work people" who live double lives as assassins. It is an alternate Feudal Japan history (1603-1863) featuring fictional characters with elements of a parallel world. You must uncover a mystery throughout the game, which comes through the story in episodes like the TV show. The player controls Nakamura Mondo, a fictional character who is also the star of the TV show. The game is biased on the original 84 episode run/first season of the TV series from 1979-1981 but features characters all the way up to the game’s release date. Nakamura Mondo is a corrupt cop known for accepting bribes, who is disrespected by his superiors and family. Mondo ends up bringing together a group of people that have all been wronged in some way, formed to solve mysteries and assassinate targets. The heroes play by the same rules as the villains, as they are not afraid to use underhanded tactics to get the job done.
