The Castle of Shikigami II: The Venerable Shmup returns to Switch and PC

We have the impression of talking regularly from the series since 2001 and the exit of the original game on the first Xbox. The Castle of Shikigami II, probably the best-known episode, will do our return at the end of the year, in December, to power the vertical shmup fans who have not forgotten his character design very appreciated and his Game system based on risk taking. With a double output stalled on PC like on Switch.

We can even count on a playable demo soon on Steam, on the occasion of the Steam Next Fest. It will propose 3 characters playable among those of the final version, and 2 internships on the five to get their hands. Available on a number of platforms, this title is distinguished among others for its scenario a little more worked than usually, and multiple interactions between the 7 characters (+1) on the menu, but also for its tension bonus system which Increases the score and firepower by shaving enemy projectiles.

The game will benefit from the passage of a new translation probably better managed, and the cooperation mode will obviously be of the game. Finally, to welcome the newcomers, this version will offer an entry mode where the placement of enemies has been readjusted, changes that should shake up the reflexes of old regulars.
