description

Experience sensory overload with CAVE's latest addition to the shoot-em-up arena, Akai Katana.Set in a parallel world resembling Japan's Taisho period, the people have discovered the powerful Blood Swords. Requiring human sacrifices to unleash their immense destructive power, these swords have been used by the empire to crush neighbouring countries. However, all the bloodshed and power gained through sacrificing close family members has made some of the swordsmen reconsider. With new fighter planes and the powered up swords at their disposal, this small band of rebels now fight back against the tyrannical empire.Created specifically with the Xbox 360 in mind, Akai Katana is the first CAVE release to feature horizontal combat in sumptuous HD and eye-watering full 16:9 support.Prepare for a new definition of 'bullet-hell'!

A Solid shooter
Akai Katana, or Red Sword, is your run of the mill shooting game from CAVE. As such, it's a standard game of its genre, which by all means doesn't mean it's bad. Just nothing worth particularly noteworthy.

That said, if you're into shooting games, you most likely already have this, or if you're aware of this, reviews influence none to your decision. For some, bullet hells are heaven, but there are better ones out there.

A great shooter

Awesome shooter
Although I'm more into simpler straight-to-the-point SHMUPs , Akai Katana's systems are interesting and keep me coming back for more!
