Hey there, PlayStation Nation! Nayan here again from Playism. We’ve been releasing plenty of games on PS4 up until now, but we’re not done yet! We’ve got a real heater coming, and it’s one of my personal favorites.
Welcome to the world of Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae.
We know full well that Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae is a mouthful to say, but we wanted to maintain that authentic samurai feel for this game.
Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae is the story of a demonic sword, and the young warrior who stole it for her own ends. Hot on her heels is our main character, and her best friend. Once friends, but now forced to fight each other, players will cut their way through arenas filled with monsters, robots, and thugs in need of a good slicing.
While Mitsurugi uses a combo system similar to character action games you might have played in the past, it employs a unique combo finishing system inspired by classic samurai movies and anime.
Once a player has inflicted damage upon their foes in a single combo, simply sheathing their sword will cause enemy wounds to open and spew blood, causing additional damage and often times, death.
In addition to this unique combo finishing system, players will be able to learn a wealth of awesome abilities during the course of their game, including devastating dive kicks, lightning fast sword combos, and incredible counters.
Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae originally released on PC, but it’s a controller-based character action game at heart and destined to hit PS4. That’s why we’re so excited to finally put it in PlayStation gamers hands on February 16th, 2016. The game will be a digital purchase on PlayStation Store, and will be available for $11.99.
Looks fun, I will look into this game shortly. Thanks PSN!
Gonna need more info (sounds like I need to google).
Any Sixaxis stuff?
Been dreadfully absent on PS4, especially on scoped in sniper rifles for helping to aim. Granted no gun here, but I’m itching to get more motion stuff in my games like with Gravity rush.
You guys really need to get your marketing ontop of that name. No way I’m going to be able to remember than when bringing it up in conversation. Maybe something that drills down on MKH.
Pretty sure it’s 2016 Feb.
Looks interesting. I’ll check out some gameplay footage once it’s released before deciding to buy though.
I’ve been waiting to hear more info on this and glad it’s releasing so soon. I’ll pick it up at that price. Good luck!
Hot samurai school girls and sheathing finishers! that sounds right up my alley
This looks super entertaining. I can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks for bringing it to PS4.
I really hated this on PC don’t think I’ll care much for it on PS4
Wow $12, might just try it out.
I really appreciate japanese games coming to the west (i try to buy most of them for support), but GOD, this game will be destroyed by sites like IGN/Gamespot/Gametrailers….
This is very true. For the price I will likely try it. Though I really hate review magazines and sites in general at this point. Also the people that tend to use them most. As an example:
The review for Nitroplus Blasterz Heroines Infinite Duel was actually pretty high, but I will see someone type for the “weaboos” or whatever and that same person mention loving Link or some random Nintendo game character. Still Japanese either way.
So I just ignore review sites and really only come to the Playstation Blog at this point for regular updates and then Twitter for the majority of companies I am interested in. I just do not agreee with most of these people.
I stop paying attention to that kind of site when the person who reviewed Nascar 09 for IGN complained about that the game was boring because is was about cars going in circles…
I have seen a couple of reviews like that. Like GameInformer calling Chrono Trigger the most overrated game of all time and then the following month they gave Chrono Trigger DS a rave review even though they had all just said that, “It has a story that was probably written by a four year old.”
They also hated on all the classic .hack// games before the new trilogy came out. Them and other companies called JRPGs boring until they realized JRPGs are popular. Tips and Tricks was one of the few that really like JRPGs like Xenogears and such.
I think I remember the review about the cars going in circles and not even their worst writings. Why I am kind of frustrated with XSEED constantly pulling up high reviews on Twitter right now of Nitroplus Blasterz Heroines. Reviewers giving scores is like, “Whose Line is it Anyway?”, the points don’t matter.
