Em um mundo da era Taisho que evoca o antigo Japão em meio a um crescimento explosivo, caças, tanques, navios de guerra e imensos Guardiões colidem em campos de batalha caóticos. Akai Katana Shin traz ação intensa de shoot 'em up horizontal com visuais militares japoneses e designs de personagens marcantes que envolvem rivalidades familiares e entre amigos. Os jogadores comandam uma unidade Fighter, alternando formas pelo Soul-shift entre estados normais e de Guardião ninja gigante, enquanto trocam entre Attack Mode para potência ou Defense Mode para velocidade, além de disparos duplos de balas para destruir inimigos.

From Strategy Crafting to Score Attack—Versatile Enough to Play It Your Way
The player unit known as Fighter
can switch between its normal form and a giant ninja known as Guardian using Soul-shift.
The unit also comes equipped with two different bullet shots.
Attack Mode has more power and Defense Mode boosts mobility.
Make good use of a combination of forms and modes to break through enemy ranks and destroy them.
Soul-shift is a crucial technique that boosts the player for a short while.
In Akai Katana and Akai Katana Zetsu, timing the shift well can block enemy bullets even on a screen that's full of them.
In Akai Katana Shin, generate and fire a Katana shot to quickly defeat strong enemies.
The highlight of this title is the ability to negate or dispel attacks instead of simply avoiding them.
Make good use of Soul-shift to turn the tide in your favor and earn a higher score.
