UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
Hooray! Kagero is back! No, we'd never heard of it either until this one, (apparently) the third in series of Dungeon Keeper style trap-setting simulators. Don't run away, though! Look, this one's about lovely girls in fetish gear!



There's some bollocks here about a lone princess defending her castle against invaders, but put simply this is a game for everyone (us) who used to build fantastically complex Bond-style deathtraps for their Legomen (often involving gunpowder, corrosive chemicals and being frozen in a block of ice) that would have made a child psychologist steady themself on the furniture.

Now they have grown up and sit at their desks, daydreaming about how many pieces could be cut off the last one to reject them before they went crazy or blacked out from pain or fear. Thank the Lord that Tecmo is there for them (us.)



The latest Kagero gimmick is gigantic setpiece traps called Dark Illusions. These include a web of giant meathooks which hurl the intruder into the air causing him to be struck by lightning, and the much-touted "Twelve Killer" in which the victim is impaled on a giant clock and slowly crushed to death by its rotating hands.



Kagero is the work of Keisuke Kikuchi, a man who probably fits one of the following profiles.

1) Likes looking at pretty people and hurting things
2) Spike obsessed sex case whose games all dwell relentlessly and gleefully on breasts and horrifying murder
3) Genuinely feels this is what women do to you when they catch you

Whichever is correct, we think he's a strong candidate for UK:R special friend of the week. (He made Fatal Frame.)
