## Description
_Guren Tensho: Rasetsu_ directly continues the story that began in the first
and was continued in Guren Tensho: Shura. After Lee Rekka and his all-female
Guren squad have defeated the evil organization of Tetsu (“iron”) in the
previous game, they thought that there would be finally a chance for peace in
the old Japan. But then came the assassination attempt on a commander of
Guren. The trace leads to the assassin Naotaka. Rekka and his companions have
to chase him down, but they aren’t ready for another surprise: the remnants of
the Tetsu clan raise their ugly heads again…
_Rasetsu_ follows the non-RPG template of its predecessor, rather than
returning to the RPG roots of the series. A large bulk of the gameplay is the
same as in “Shura”: listening to/reading dialogues, being automatically taken
to locations and from time a time participate in pre-set turn-based battles.
There is however an important gameplay mode that makes “Rasetsu” a strategy
game: in dungeons, the player has to throw dice to navigate the hero over top-
down corridors with grids. Depending on the number on the dice, the hero
advances to different grids, which results in battles, poison traps, items,
healing spots, or puzzle pieces that are needed to unravel anime-style
pictures of the Guren girls.
