What kind of game is Kurenai Samurai?
It plays like Vampire Survivors with a squad. Your one button is the ultimate, aimed with a click; everything else is positioning. Between stages you stop at rest points to buy gear, hire companions and prepare for the next boss.

| Companions | Shield bearer, spearman, ninja, archer and monk, each with their own upgrade path |
| Elemental blades | Fire, thunder, frost and blood, each growing through three tiers with its own ultimate |
| Charms | Extra effects picked up during the run |
| Rest stops | Buy gear and hire companions between stages |
