Kurenai has several different methods of moving. The game is impossible to complete without killing people. Bodies of dead enemies can be dragged in order to conceal Kurenai's presence from the enemy, though only decapitated or defeated enemies can be dragged (in other words, Kurenai cannot pick up two separate halves of a body to hide them). A seduction stealth kill is also possible to perform on a single enemy: during such an attack, Kurenai will perform a vaguely suggestive activity and when the enemy approaches, will drag him down and kill him. Stealth attacks are possible when Kurenai sneaks up on an enemy undetected or uses the blade to slice off an unaware enemy's head from a distance. It is best to avoid physical altercations either by sneaking, stealth-killing, or using Kurenai's feminine charm to eliminate threats. However, as Kurenai is without armor and significant reach (enemies are armed with bows, spears, or katana), most battle encounters will either injure her seriously or kill her outright. When Kurenai is being chased by three or more enemies while targeting one of them, she can perform a powerful melee attack to annihilate all enemies in range. By repeatedly annihilating enemies and avoiding injury, Kurenai can build her ninjutsu gauge, which allows her to enter a sort of " bullet time" in order to more efficiently eliminate enemies. Melee attacks can be performed with either the blade or fundo. The tetsugen also has a hook attachment that allows Kurenai to swing to various places. Enemies are dispatched with either a kunai blade or fundo (a blunt iron weight) attachment to the tetsugen ( 鉄弦, "iron string", or "wire"). Like I said, it had potential, but it just wasn't meant to be.Red Ninja employs a third-person perspective with a limited rotatable camera, following the protagonist, Kurenai. You can be wondering about a level for hours, in the middle of the night, longing to get some sleep, then you finally break through, you end up in another long level, without being able to save your progress. There aren't many save points in the game, which is also very annoying. Sometimes you can block enemy attacks, but I don't really understand why they've put that in either. When an enemy strikes you down you better equip a Potion cause in the later levels it's difficult to pull away from his attacks, since you have to stay on the ground for three more seconds, Gods knows why, before you can get up. Close enough for the enemy to hear you, if you aren't careful. There's a limited range to use this weapon, you can't be standing to close and you can't be too far off either. The Tetsugen was a very original idea, but it's a very difficult weapon to work with. It takes a while for you to do so and after you've attacked him, you have to lock on again. You can not lock on to an enemy that easily. The camera never repositions so you have to do it yourself.
You have to do it all manually, then when you want to do it manually, you can't. I only have one word for it: frustrating. The plot was very movie-like, you really learn your place in this story and it feels good to play your part and do your stuff. Later on I found out the cut scenes were good as well and so was the music in every level. They weren't Final Fantasy, but they were great. From the intro FMV on I knew the game had beautiful graphics. So here's my score: Graphics and music: 2 /2 Plot : 1,5 /2 Gameplay : 2,5 /6 And now the explanation. When it comes to video games, I give my stars to a number of aspects: graphics and music (2), plot (2), game play (6). They came up with a good idea and tried to work it out.
