For those rushing to type that it’s an old game and doesn’t matter – it’s worth remembering what the final installment in core series was.   Design aspects like this left unaddressed can kill otherwise unique and engaging properties.

Tenchu: Fatal Shadows was a game that showed how disappointing it gets when you decide to put more emphasis on an action focused female cast and decide that they’ll count of sex appeal to make up for bland designs.

While it’s true they are looking to Feudal Japan for inspiration and hence trying to match those, it’s also true the the previous games managed to incorporate much more interesting designs for important male characters.
