Tenchu Z | Super Casual Review

Hi all! this review was a little more experimental and low effort. I kind of just wanted to get it out of the door. The audio is a little funky so more tweaking needed but overall happy with how it came out. What do you remember about Tenchu?
This really does fit the bill of super casual, but im gonna spend some more time on the next one. Make it look really nice and sound great. Until next time!!

nice blast from the past. They really need to continue the series.

I'd love to see a return in some form. It's really sad that most of the games are stuck on their systems.

Thank you, Im currently making a tenchu like game with modern hitman influence in UE5 and this way very insightful to see what you liked and didn't about Z and how I should build my game. I'm glad you didn't like the character creator either and it makes it easier for me to just build a story around the one character :) . Would you be willing to talk on discord further about your thoughts on the game ever ?

[@goobula]

Thank you for watching! I would totally be down for chatting on discord about it more.

Lol, neat. Not the only one making one. Personally love the customization though, story was never a draw to me. I always just enjoyed the ability to live out the ninja fantasy in a small open world map sandbox. Cutscenes/story was always just icing on the cake to set the stage and that is all. Customization allowed me to get more attached to a character of my own design preferences and playstyle if the game supports gameplay customization also. I think that tenchu has some of my favorite preset characters though, so it does conflict me. Maybe custom characters with an option of a preset for a character that is normally used for advertisement/representing the game and people not interested in designing their own would be ideal? My inspirations are Tenchu and Naruto. Taking very specific things from each of them, but keeping a dark gritty feel to a degree that tenchu has would be ideal. I am kinda debating making my own fantasy setting that heavily borrows from japan and ninja/samurai culuture and designs instead so it is unique and fresh without a chance of making mistakes about stuff looking accurate to older japanese cultural settings. May allow more unique map design setups too. Not sure yet. Overall aesthetic would still be VERY similar to this though.

Do not abandon the character customisation, that is a massive draw that current Tenchu-likes all lack, if you abandon that, you're kinda just making way to be called a poor man's ghost of tsushima

@@AlbinoMothDragon Hehe. Idk about for him, but customization, player builds, and overall player agency is one of my favorite things. One of the reasons I like tenchu Z more than most the others in the franchise. Actually have a good chunk of the gameplay working, but I am having to hold off on the project until i can make a certain purchase or an alternative is found. No worries about dropping it though, it will eventually become a thing, One of my dream games I absolutely must make in my lifetime.

You can easily play the old tenchu games. You buy the old consoles that can run them from a used store. (And a smaller TV. This is important to enjoy them without destroying your eyes).

Wrath of heaven and deadly shadows hold up extremely well. They look better than Z which I can confirm is eye destroying.
