Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime’s Longest Day explodes onto your screen with more color than a crayola box that’s been detonated with C4. Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime’s Longest Day is both movies and game for you to sit back enjoy and soak in all there is to offer. The film portion is divided up into four shorts each directed by a different person, Hajime Katoki, Katshuhiro Otomo, Hiroaki Ando, Shuhei Morita while the game is created by Suda51 and Yohei Kataoka, yeah you can see where this is going.
During the Ranko Tsukigime’s Longest Day portion players will control deadly female assasin fighting for not only her life but the life of her friends. The game and films do tie together so this is one complete experience to be savored as a whole for sure.
The game looks like a fast paced side scroller done in an almost endless runner style where you dare not slow down. Popups with numbers chains make me feel this is going to be a game where you’ll want to push yourself to the limit to try and top your last run for better and higher chains. I see nothing about when this is coming to the US but it is already available in the UK for sure so we can hope it makes its way stateside.
