Prepared by specialists in difficult shooters, Japanese Cave studio, the production does not stand out from dozens of other similar titles in terms of basic assumptions. Its unique element is, among other things, the design that takes the console owners to the times of the technological revolution in the Land of the Cherry Blossom.

The story of Akaj Katana Shin tells the story of a group of rebels who decided to oppose the despotic power of the ruling family country. In the fight against the Emperor and his elite units, they use unusual weapons, which provide them with enormous power. However, the cost of using them is enormous, because weapons reveal their powers only after killing one of their loved ones with them.

The authors have prepared three different play modes, which allow you to have fun in several different ways. "Origin" is a classic module known from slot machines, where players have to overcome six levels at the end of which demanding bosses are waiting for them. "Slash" and "Climax" are options for fans of shooters who are looking for a bigger challenge. The first mode is about achieving the highest possible results by hitting as many goals as possible. In the second, the level of difficulty increases significantly, and enemies have a much greater firepower.

A characteristic feature of the Akai Katana Shin game system is the ability to freely switch between two heroes who have slightly different abilities. This makes it necessary for players to plan their actions and adapt their tactics to the events on the screen.

The Shin version of the title is a significantly improved edition compared to the one released on slot machines. The Cave studio worked on the audio-visual setting, added 16:9 mode, and took advantage of the capabilities of the network console, enabling competition for points on dedicated ranking lists. Players can also take advantage of the possibility of recording repetitions and prepared for beginners modes, which introduce newcomers to the secrets of the game. Akai Katana Shin also allows two people to have fun on the same screen.
