GAMEPLAY

The player controls Tsumugi Tamamori, a Japanese high school student whisked away from modern-day to Honno-ji in the Sengoku era. There she meets the three kunoichi known as the Gokage. Helpful Iyo’s precocious Komimi and flirty Hagane help Tsumugi take on Nobunaga Oda, who has been reimagined as a villainous leader of an undead army. Tsumugi runs around and fights the zombie samurai with her katana. The Gokage are not playable but can be switched out for one another and help out against enemies. Tsumugi can perform the “Devoted Heart Technique” which involves her becoming physically intimate with one of the Gokage. This provides a tremendous power boost to Tsumugi and encases her katana in fire (with Iyo), ice (with Komimi), or lightning (with Hagane).

BEAUTIFUL AS A CHERRY BLOSSOM, DEADLY AS A SAMURAI
