Ashina: The Red Witch is a pretty cool game to check out if you’re into Stranga’s titles. It’s a sequel to Red Bow and a prequel to My Big Sister, so it’s packed with familiar characters and story connections that fans will really appreciate. The pixel art is gorgeous and makes the world feel super inviting to explore.
The characters are memorable, especially one inspired by the creepy urban legend of Kuchisake Onna, which adds a neat cultural twist. The soundtrack is great too, with the music in the Chikanda chapter standing out and really setting the mood. If you’ve played the other games, you’ll enjoy how this one ties everything together and brings back some old favorites.
The only downside is that there are a few spelling mistakes and grammar slip-ups here and there. They can be a little distracting but don’t ruin the game.
Overall, Ashina: The Red Witch is a fun, visually cool game with a story that fans of the series will enjoy. Just don’t expect perfect editing, and you’ll have a good time.
