2.0 Metroidvania Overhaul

Based on your feedback, we rebuilt the level design, story progression, and game systems from the ground up.

• One connected world made of 70 interlinked rooms
• A new movement ability, the Wall Jump, with ability-gated paths and shortcuts
• Fast travel through torii gates and a world map you can open at any time
• A mid-boss in every region and three Marks of the War God to collect
• Multi-life boss battles and a new sword technique, Iai

Combat System: The Ultimate Clash of Blades

Experience an advanced parrying system that brings the chilling tension of a katana duel to life.

• Guard: Raise your sword to block deadly enemy attacks.

• Parry: Deflect attacks with perfect timing to turn the tide of battle.

• Focus: Focus is depleted when guarding or taking damage. If your Focus runs out, your stance breaks and you are left defenseless. A perfect parry drains your enemy's Focus instead, opening the way for an execution.

• Iai: Hold a direction to gather your strength, then draw your blade in a single long, sweeping cut. It pours out your entire Flare gauge in one strike.

• Boss Lives: Bosses have multiple lives. Empty one life with your attacks to bring them down, then take each life with an execution.

Exploration: A Connected World

Centered on the Amane estate, a snowy northern village, a southern castle town, a deep eastern forest, and a misty western bamboo grove are all woven into one world. Every new ability, such as the Wall Jump or Falling Flower, opens paths that were once closed and reveals hidden collectibles and shortcuts.

Story: For the Revival of the Clan

To rebuild the fallen Amane clan, Yurina Amane becomes a 'Mikoto', the clan's representative duelist, striking down the formidable foes that stand in her way one by one.
