Tenchu Kurenai is the Japanese name of Fatal Shadows. More direct stealth with two heroines, calmer plot and tighter runtime. Minor but pleasant for fans.

Is Tenchu Kurenai still worth playing in 2026?
Stealth from K2 and known in Japan as Tenchu Kurenai, Fatal Shadows continues the series following two heroines in feudal Japan, where assassination from the shadows and discretion take priority over open combat. The tension of the silent hunt, the verticality of the levels and the twilight mood win over fans of stealthy ninjas. The temperamental camera, a dated AI and the recycling of the formula temper the whole. A good stealth game for fans of shadow ninjas and of the Tenchu series.
