Getsufumaden: Undying Moon announced
Konami Digital Entertainment’s GetsuFumaDen, developed by independent gaming studio GuruGuru, combines roguevania (a combination of procedural, roguelike games and action and discovery-based games that differentiate in each game) with a rather majestic and dark fantasy universe based on traditional Japanese art. Players will navigate scenes of the underworld that come to life in accordance with the Japanese Ukiyo-e style and are as eerie as they are eye-catching, trying to master a range of weapons and equipment to suit different gameplay styles.
GetsuFumaDen bases strategic collisions in the game on elements of Japanese combat sports based on accurate timing and distance. Players will get stronger after every problem they overcome as they fight against scary bosses and ever-changing plans.
The plot of the game is briefly as follows; After 1,000 years of peace, the seal of hell is broken and evil spirits begin to flock to the world through the opening. To save the world on the brink of destruction, Getsu Fuma, the leader of his clan, has to go down to the deepest pits of hell and eradicate evil.
Shin Murato, producer of GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moonat Konami Digital Entertainment Co., said, “The Early Access process is a great opportunity for GetsuFumaDen to create a community of players and make the game the best possible. During this period, we aim to collect feedback from our users in order to improve the quality of our game every day. We aim to bring our game to life by joining hands with our player community and improving regular content enhancements, bug extraction and game balances. We are currently concentrating on Early Access, but we will share more details about the Nintendo Switch release in the future,” he said.
“It’s a great opportunity for us to work closely with KONAMI and bring GetsuFumaDen to life,” said Yuki Yamashita, Director of GuruGuru. We will continue to improve and improve our game based on feedback from our players,” he said.
Fans of retro games will remember the original Getsu Fuma Den, which was released exclusively to Famicom systems in Japan in 1987. Sliding sideways, this 2D action RPG game was acclaimed for its transitions from 2D platform gameplay to first-person artificial 3D view. Players who purchase the Early Access version of GetsuFumaDen will receive digital art books and soundtracks, as well as a port of the original, Japanese Famicom version of the game as a bonus.
