Storyline: The story takes places during the Sengoku era where Hideyoshi Totoyomi rules over a peaceful, unified Japan. Enju Ueno is the daughter of Kando Ueno, the leader of the Koga shinobis, and Kagari, who was the sister of the late leader of the now extinct Iga clan. She spends most of her days quietly being sheltered within the Kouga village and hones her skills to be a ninja, hoping she can be useful to the Kouga village. When she is assigned a mission to go to Kyou, the capital of Japan, she gets more than she bargained for and becomes entangled in a complex web of politics, violence, and dark secrets. It is then she must fight for her life, figuring out what future she must fight for.
Do you like tragedy, suffering, ninjas, and romance? If you do, then this is the game for you! Originally released for the PSVita in 2016, and later rereleased on the PC in 2017 and for the Nintendo Switch in 2018, this game is rooted in Japanese history but not as much as the popular game, Hakuouki. So, no need to worry too much about historical context for this one.
This game has been a long time coming. I saw this one available on the Switch for quite some time. I spotted it since last year (2019), but I did not pick it up until a friend of mine started playing the game. She raved about how good it was, so I played it out of curiosity. And then, I could not put down the game and finished it within a week. Unfortunately, the review somehow took a little longer to get out there ^^;
For most reviews, I tend to write it in the order I played the routes in, but I’m doing things a little differently for this game. I will start from what I think is from least spoilerly to the most spoilerly. I will still try my best to avoid mentioning any specific-related plot/spoiler points.
As always, this review contains my opinions only and no one else’s. So, please take it with a grain of salt ~^^~
