Akai Katana: Japan's Taisho Official HD video gameplay trailer - X360


Action-packed gameplay of upcoming shmup (shoot 'em up) arcade game Akai Katana. Releasing later this spring exclusively for Xbox 360, Akai Katana puts the sword in players' hands as they take on a tyrannical empire of bloodshed to restore peace and order to the world they once knew.




Akai Katana combines the adrenaline-filled gameplay of today's bullet hell genre with the spirit of adventure offered through a true side-scrolling experience.
Akai Katana features include:

Gorgeous hand-drawn artwork

  • Full HD 16:9 support
  • Three modes of gameplay
  • Origin (Arcade)
  • Slash
  • Climax
  • Fully animated UI
  • Original Arcade settings (optional) for an authentic experience

Developed by CAVE Interactive and published by Rising Star Games, Akai Katana for Xbox 360 will be coming to North American shelves this spring.

The story of Akai Katana is set in a parallel world resembling Japan's Taisho period, where 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 neighboring countries. However, all the bloodshed and power gained through sacrificing close family members has made some of the swordsmen think twice. With new fighter planes and the powered up swords at their disposal, this small band of rebels now fight back against the tyrannical empire.
