Tenchu (PS1) has a pretty killer soundtrack

I think it really added to the atmosphere. No game has really quite captured that again for me since.
Tenchu's soundtrack is fantastic. They contextualized all their levels emotionally with powerful songs that perfectly encapsulates the mood they were going for.
The "Cure the Princess" mission with the music and the autumn forest during the night is so beautiful and expressive. Definitely check that tune

Tenchu's soundtrack is one of the PS1 greatest OSTs. The tracks are just mesmerizing.
Having said that, Jim Power on the Amiga where your avatar is from is also one of my favourites and it was one of the first games I could 1cc back in the days :)
These are two of my favourites
The last one really has to be seen with the ending. It has some spoilers but it's been 20+ years so I guess everyone knows what happens :)

You are so correct, although Punish the Evil Merchant is my favorite, it's on my regular playlist rotation.. I really miss this atmospheric ninja stealth action.
Yeah, the stage music was fantastic and it has one of my favorite boss fights of all time.
My personal favorite song, starts off super strong and then when the solo hits later on.

The music is special. Cross the Checkpoint is one of my favorites, but there's nothing but bangers in there.
Yes, the soundtrack is awesome.
Also, MGS hogged all the attention in 1998 for stealth action but Tenchu was the better game.
Originally Sekiro started as a new Tenchu game but the turned it into a new IP to not feel like they were copying previous developers works on the series.
Tenchu has always had good music. People sleep on these games.
We bought Tenchu 1 at the time, because some magazine we read as teenagers said that it was good training for Metal Gear Solid 1 (which was coming out in a few months).
I remember sitting there with my buddy and when that music hit on the first mission, it BLEW our fucking minds with that humming and how sharp it all sounded. It was truly amazing. Still is - I hooked it up literally 2 weeks ago and played a bunch of this game - still holds up, gameplay and music.

Man, this is a nostalgia trip. Tenchu was a very memorable birthday gift for me back in the day and I loved every minute of it but I haven't played it or kept up with anything from it since. Now I want a remake.
It's an amazing soundtrack, and I'd love for some future From Soft title to go for the same mood.
Also extremely underrated is the Otogi soundtrack. It's the Tenchu soundtrack filtered through hell.

I miss the Tenchu games so much. I feel like with the resurgence of those type of themed games, I'm hoping a new Tenchu comes out eventually.
I'm a fan of the Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven intro

This intro will be forever amazing.
Ending theme is awesome; I've always loved it. Would have fit right in on the Pure Moods CD back then.

I can still remember the first level music from the amount of times I played the demo disc that came with the official mag! Awesome.
