Set in China as the Ming dynasty begins to crumble, the game follows Shao Jun, the last remaining Assassin of her Brotherhood. Trained by Ezio Auditore, she returns to her homeland seeking vengeance and aiming to restore the Brotherhood.
The adventure unfolds in side-scrolling 2.5D levels built around stealth, timing, and route planning. Sneak past guards or take them down, use tools such as whistles and disguises, and climb or run through layered environments that span foreground, middle ground, and background.
Each level is divided into sections where your approach affects your score, with stealth favored in the ranking system. You can take on optional side missions, find collectibles, and pursue better results as you move through China’s landmarks and missions.
Reviewers who enjoy the game often highlight its ink-wash-inspired art, atmospheric Chinese setting, and stealth-focused level design. Some appreciate the focused 2.5D take on the series and the chance to play as Shao Jun. Others find the controls awkward, stealth sections frustrating or repetitive, and the story slight; reactions to the challenge and gameplay vary.
