Impossibly Hard PS3 Cute-‘Em-Up Gets a Modern Revamp This September

by

Originally released in arcades as far back as 2008, the vertical shooter Mamorukun ReCurse, known for its adorable Yokai characters, eventually found its way onto the PS3. Now, this classic, retro-style game is set to arrive on both PS5 and PS4 on September 25th.

For those unfamiliar, here’s how the blurb introduces this bullet hell blast from the past:

Experience a fresh revamp of an iconic arcade shooter from yesteryears, stepping into a thrilling journey brimming with stunning landscapes, peculiar creatures, and a torrent of shots to safeguard the Netherworld and lock the entrance to the Realm of Darkness. In this narrative, players assume command over Mamoru, resurrected in the Netherworld post-premature demise. A swift encounter with three fresh companions leads to Fululu’s lively explanation that they – Mamoru, Mayuno, Kinya, and Beniko – are the last beacon of hope against the impending onslaught of darkness threatening The Netherworld.

As an enthusiastic gamer, I’m thrilled about the upcoming feature called Curse Bullets! This exciting addition lets me dynamically adjust the game’s challenge level on the spot. With this tool, I can swiftly eliminate minor adversaries, sweep away obstructions from the screen, or supercharge larger enemies, making them more challenging to vanquish. The more daring I am, the higher my scores climb!

On the launch day, all existing downloadable content for the game’s title will be available, as well as enhancements such as widescreen compatibility and upgraded twin-stick shooting controls that feel more contemporary.
