Kurenai is a master of the tetsugen, a wire weapon that can cut off an enemy's head or hang them from a tree, depending on the end attachments used and the length and strength of the weapon's wire.

Really cool game with unique things to offer that sadly didn't get the credit or attention it deserved in 2005. Would be great to see it get a second chance. If you'd like to learn a bit more about it, look up the Youtube video "The WORST* Ninja Game" by KBash. Hint: it's not actually the worst.

A neat but flawed ninja game that was "We have tenchu at home" hard but not for the best of reasons it was a big game from a new company made of small timers Senran Kagura's Kenichiro Takaki got his start on this game as well and I think it plays into what he wanted Senran Kagura to be sexy but dark and sad. A pc port could help in fixing some control issues as well as include the Japanese dub from the rare japan verison of the game.
In a time when stealth action games are a rarity, bringing this game back would be an enormous favor to the people who enjoy them. Red Ninja includes clever level design, a good length and interesting combat mechanics. The use of the wire as a weapon and its variations via equipment, in particular, is something that hasn't been done since. There are other interesting gameplay mechanics as well. Please bring this game back.
I love the main character design here. It's one of the ninja stealth games where you fight with sharp wire weapon and seduce your enemies that makes it unique for me. And this is one of the few games where your only main character is a kunoichi throughout the game. Good stage design and boss battles 👍

I know it's impossible due to ActiBlizz and also, being a console game without port, just want to say, this game deserves a second chance, it had gnarly cool mechanics, and sure, had its hiccups, but it's a great game.

I've always wanted to play this game, but never had the opportunity to find it in any retail stores. Giving it a second chance via GOG would be a great opportunity to finally play it and experience the game that's gotten so many great reviews.
Oh man, it so cool game. The design, the art, the character, just one post on the internet and thousands of people remembered how good it was. This needs to be republished so more people can enjoy it.

I'd missed this as a kid because one of the publications I'd read said it was a bad game. Years later I play it at a buddy's house and it's pretty great, especially for the time. I'd like to see it come around again and with the JP voices possible. Probably a pipe dream but I'd still like to see it get some love.

I bought this game back when I was a wee lad but was unable to play it because my PS2 was PAL and the disc was NTSC. I still think about the game to this day and would like to play it on the PC. I just thought it was one of the games I will never had the pleasure of enjoying until I saw the designer on twitter.

Shin Megami Tensei II
Shin Megami Tensei IIFifty years have passed since the hero of Shin Megami Tensei followed the neutral path, defeated the leaders of Law and Chaos, and founded a state where followers of both ideologies could live freely. But his reign of freedom doesn't last long. The Messian faith gains power, expanding the Cathedral into a new enclosed environment named Tokyo Millennium. The Gaians rise up, but their rebellion is repressed by the Messians' elite warrior class, the Temple Knights. People flock into the encapsulated city, submitting themselves to the strict hierarchy imposed by the Messian Center, where only the privileged living in the Center district are safe from demonic assaults. A few years later, a retired arena fighter Okamoto rescues a man named Hawk, who was fighting for his life against a demon. He trains him to fight in the arena of the Valhalla district, hoping that he would win the tournament, which will grant them both citizenship in the Center district. When Hawk succeeds, he is brought before a Messian bishop, and learns the shocking truth about his own origins and the role he is supposed to play in the grand scheme of events. A new battle for a better future begins. Shin Megami Tensei II retains all the gameplay features of the previous game. The player is able to summon demons, fuse them to create more powerful ones, make them participate in battles, talk to random enemies and receive information from them, etc. The combat is turn-based, and the player explores the complex, maze-like dungeons from a first-person perspective view. Like in the first game, the Law, Chaos, and Neutral alignments play an important role: during the course of the game, the player will have to make choices that influence the alignment of the protagonist, steering the storyline into different directions. New features include a "magic succession" system, which allows demons to carry over their original magic spells when they are fused into new ones, a few additional spells and abilities, and the possibility to play at the casino and win unique items.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
