![]() ![]() For many centuries, there had long been terrible fighting over who should have control of temporal affairs in Japan - who should control everything that did not have to do with religion. But the samurai clan leaders (daimyo) needed "disgusting" sneaky things done periodically, so they continued to have recourse to these banned shinobi from time to time. This was because shinobi violated the upper-class code of how you were *supposed to be* an honorable warrior at that time, the code called bushido. If you so much as mentioned them in public, you could be arrested and put to death. If identified, shinobi could be killed on sight. On paper they were outlaws in the category of hinin. On the other hand, if at that time somebody meant to refer to one of the tactical stealth operatives who belonged to one of several outcast secret societies, the proper word was shinobi, "stealthy tactical operative." In feudal times, no self-respecting person would ever have acknowledged that shinobi even existed. The feudal Japanese would have said that a burglar qualified as a ninja, an arsonist qualified as a ninja, a criminal home invader, etc. Technically, ninja was at that time a catchall word meaning "person who sneaks in". Most people today who think about these operatives refer to them by the word ninja. Testugen means literally "iron wire." The word may be translated simply as an old-fashioned way to say "a garrote," but it may indeed have had more sophisticated usage as a weapon for tactical stealth operatives in feudal Japan. The things they call kunai in the game are not actually kunai, they are throwing knives (shuriken) "blades hidden in the palm." Whether they are star shaped or straight, whether you choose to actually throw them or you keep holding onto them - if it is a ninjitsu weapon with an edge that is designed so that you can hide it in your hand, it is classified as a shuriken. Real kunai had a crescent shape, something like a letter U. The shinobi did use things called kunai, but in real life these were small, handheld bladed tools, used as drills to make peepholes. A detailed list of changes can be found on (German). In the German version, all blood and gore effects were removed. She can also "seduce" enemies, by talking to them in a sexy way and luring them to their death - a move that doesn't always work. Kurenai can approach enemies silently and hide behind objects. An effective way to kill enemies is to use stealth. There is a fair amount of platform-like sequences where she will have to demonstrate her acrobatic ninja technique. Kurenai can jump, hang from ledges, and roll. You can also use other weapons, such as a blowgun and throwing knives. During the game you'll learn to perform new moves with this weapon. The primary weapon Kurenai uses is the deadly tetsugen. "Red Ninja" is an action game with stealth elements. This is where her quest for revenge begins. But a kind woman saves Kurenai, and trains her to be a ninja herself. Ninjas sent by Nobunaga Oda attack his workshop, kill him, and leave Kurenai hanging from a tree tied by tetsugen, a piece of wire used by ninjas as a weapon. ![]() The heroine of the game is a young girl called Kurenai ("crimson"), the daughter of a prominent Japanese engineer whose new invention (apparently, a destructive weapon) has drawn the attention of the warring clans. Shingen Takeda and Nobunaga Oda clans are fighting each other, trying to gain supremacy over the entire Japan. The game is set in medieval Japan, at the time of "warring states". ![]()
