Since you can enhance both your strength and endurance, Demon Sword is definitely an easier game.

However, you can also upgrade the power of your shurikens – in their powerful form, you’ll send out a single huge, spinning blade which tears through practically anything. In Demon Sword, even the weakest of enemies will take two or more hits. In Fudou Myououden, most of the regular enemies only take a single hit to kill. It’s all too easy to simply fling yourself through each stage, all while avoiding enemy confrontations, but this gives you some incentive to stick around and engage enemies until they drop what you want. Additionally, one of the randomly dropped power-ups will extend your life meter permanently. Demon Sword grants you a life meter, so you can take much more damage. There are power-ups that automatically resurrect you after getting hurt, but given the way that enemies fly all over the place, these get eaten up pretty quickly. Fudou Myououden is much like The Legend of Kage, in that you can only take a single hit before dying. There are a number of significant differences between the Japanese and American versions. You start off with a near-useless dagger, but by the end of the game, it’s a huge, badass blade that’s almost the size of the main character. However, every few levels, your sword will grow a little bit. The boss battles at the end of each stage are often quite rough, featuring erratic patterns and questionable hit detection, so it’s imperative to stock up as much magic as possible to enable you to attack from a distance. If you find a key (which randomly pops up when you defeat an enemy), you’re taken to a small subspace area where you’re either granted a piece of magic, or confronted with a midboss – who, after being defeated, will also give you special magic. Additionally, each level contains a number of locked doors. There are a number of power-ups and spells to find, which increase the power of your throwing stars or temporarily summon shadow doubles that follow your character, a la Ninja Gaiden II (which this game predates).
