Life being only a form of repetition, like a rogue lite, it will be recalled that this game slips you into the armor of the clan chief Getsu Fuma, determined to repel the invasion of the youkai, these ghosts of Japanese folklore determined to wreak havoc after 1,000 years of peace. Co-developed by the independent studio GuruGuru, this passion project is inspired by the Ukiyo-e aesthetic to mark its descent into hell, corresponding to as many strata and randomly generated levels.
A long way has obviously been covered since the launch of early access last May, with in particular the addition of a new playable character (Getsu Renge), an Apprentice difficulty more welcoming for neophytes, but also the possibility of dismantle weapons and increase their rank and adding lower Citadel level with a new boss at the key, Daidarabotchi. We do not forget to mention the opening of a Treasure Room, to visualize the defeated enemies, a new main weapon with the Whip for those nostalgic for Castlevania, a new secret art on the skill side and various balancing adjustments at all levels.
Players will be able to turn to the digital Deluxe Edition of the game on Switch, with the bait of a digital artbook, the original mini soundtrack as well as a port of the original Japanese Famicom game Getsu Fûma Den, unreleased In Occident. This is offered at €34.99, compared to €24.99 for the standard edition.
