As a ninja, Kurenai has a vast range of techniques to escape her enemies including the ability to dislocate her joints in order to get out of tight spots and prisons, the traditional ninja art of disguise and the womanly art of seduction to seduce and distract. The functionality of the weapon is determined by the end attachments, length and strength of the wire. Her weapon of choice is the Tetsugen, the revolutionary wire weapon. As Kurenai, a female ninja, players will battle enemies in a quest to destroy the Black Lizard Clan and avenge her father's death.

With the power of the Samurai decimated after years of clan conflict warlords turn to the Ninja to hold onto political power. In the game players are transported back to feudal Japan during the 1500's where a fierce battle for supremacy wages across Japan. "This epic adventure carries universal themes that every player will relate to - 'duty versus honor, old versus new."

"Red Ninja: End of Honor will offer authentic ninja gameplay and action around every corner," said Michael Pole, senior vice president of product development at VU Games. Even at the game's early stage of completion, the wire is quite functional now Tranji has only to build diverse levels that allow players to take advantage of this unique gameplay mechanic. For instance, you could target an enemy's head area with the blunt wire head and wrap the wire around his neck, then jump onto and then over a beam and hoist the enemy up, effectively hanging him.

The wire features a full physics model, and you'll be able to use it creatively with the environment to dispatch your foes. You'll acquire three different heads for the wire: a blade that can be used for slashing and impaling enemies, a blunt attachment for bludgeoning and hanging enemies, and a grapple for swinging across chasms and interacting with the environment. We got to see a quick demo of Red Ninja in a meeting with Vivendi Universal at TGS, and we got a pretty good feel for the mechanics of Kurenai's wire. As players progress through the game, Kurenai will also master a number of ninja techniques, allowing her to dislocate her joints to get out of tight spots, disguise herself, and control or manipulate enemies. Kurenai will also have access to a number of different secondary weapons including blowguns, smoke bombs, and rocket explosives. In a somewhat morbid twist, she'll use the very wire she was hung with as her primary weapon. Kurenai is on a mission to avenge her father's death by destroying the Black Lizard clan, who afterward hung her and left her for dead.
