Cyber Rhino Studio’s Musashi vs Cthulhu has been on the radar for some time. Launching as an Early Access title on Steam back in 2020, much effort have been made to ensure this stylish 2D action experience hits home hard. Now, publisher QUByte Interactive has announced the official release date of the full version of the game. Not only that, but also Musashi vs Cthulhu is coming to consoles.
What is Musashi vs Cthulhu?
Musashi vs Cthulhu is a fast paced survival-action game. You take control of Musashi, the most famous warrior from feudal Japan, as he fights for his life.
The ronin is a victim of a terrible curse. This curse makes him a target for unspeakable monsters. Of course, he’s equipped to take them on, but it won’t be easy. In each match, hordes of monsters spawns endlessly and attack until there’s no one standing.
The enemies come from both sides of the screen, similar to retro action titles like The Revenge of Shinobi. However, it’s not a simple cash of slashing your sword in their direction. The monsters must be attacked with precise blows to bulging weak spots shown in their bodies.
There are six different enemy types in the game, all with different attack patterns and weak spots. Players must learn to take advantage of these weaknesses while under pressure, aiming to get a high score of enemies downed before they inevitably fall.
Release Date Trailer
The official release date trailer (below) for the game demonstrates brief glimpses of the action. More than that however, it showcases the dark, hand-drawn art style of the game. Slick and polished, dark and moody. If you don’t think this looks stylish in action, what does?
It also confirms the release date for the game, and all of the formats its set to launch on. But of course, you already knew that was coming!
Musashi vs Cthulhu Launch Details
As stated above, Cyber Rhino Studio first launched the game via Steam Early Access back in 2020. Since then, the game has received a small amount of reviews that have all been positive. The price of the game was just £2.99 GBP during this Early Access phase.
Musashi vs Cthulhu will see a full release on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on 16th May, 2024.
