Meet the heroes of feudal Japan
In this game, Amaterasu reigns over feudal Japan with a fearsome army of youkai, and only Kensei and Ayame can stop her. These brothers have been training for years to defeat the Goddess, and each has their own fighting style.
As a samurai, Kensei has devoted his life to mastering the art of the sword. This lethal weapon is perfect for close combat and can parry projectiles. Kensei wears glowing red armor, even if it affects his mobility. He can’t jump, but he can perform lightning dashes and cut through enemies.
Ayame, on the other hand, is a ninja kunoichi who has been trained in ninjutsu. She prioritizes agility and stealth over close quarters combat, and she can throw her kunai from afar to take out enemies before they know what hits them. If she is spotted by an enemy, Ayame can use her ninjutsu to evade her attacks and disappear behind enemy lines.
please switch
As you can see, these two heroes play very differently. Ayame excels at agile platforming, and Kensei is a close combat pro. But what happens when you hit a roadblock that requires both skills? Fortunately, you can switch in real time.
You can switch between Ayame and Kensei at any time with the push of a button. Most levels require you to change characters often, but that’s all part of the fun too.
Imagine this: An undead archer sits on a tall ledge with huge gaps between platforms. Use Ayame to get to higher ground, switch to Kensei and dash through gaps while avoiding arrows. Finally, when you’re close enough, use your trusty katana to defeat the Yokai.
Are you confident? Try parrying his projectiles instead of dashing through them. Alternatively, switch to Ayame to teleport behind the archer and keep going without fighting anyone. Thanks to the switching mechanism, the same problem can be approached in several ways. Combine the skills of Kensei and Ayame to free feudal Japan from Amaterasu’s wrath.
