CFK, the game publisher, announced today, April 8, that it has decided to release the Steam version of Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage and introduce key features of the game before its release.
Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage, developed by a Korean indie game company named Deerfarm, is a vertically scrolling shoot’em up game set to an Eastern background, centered around a plot where the protagonists must avoid the attacks of the youkai who have escaped from hell, collect souls, and then overturn their foes with their powerful attacks. Check below some of the game’s features:
A unique concept hard to find among indie, shoot ’em-up games: Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage stands out for having been created by a Korean developer and having a unique setting that’s hard to find among other games in the genre. In staying true to the shoot’em up genre, Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage features colorful bullet patterns and quick movement while also flavoring the game with new systems unique to this game.
Reimagining Korean folktales and legends from a new perspective: Featuring the Shingiwonyo (신기원요/伸妓寃妖), Chang-gui (창귀), and other mythical creatures from Korean folk legend, Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage presents a creative reimagining of this material as it reworks the youkai from Korean traditional stories into bosses with uniquely grotesque designs.
Soul Collect System: The “Soul Collect” system presents a high-risk, high-reward mechanic. Players gain souls every time they avoid attacks, gaining more souls the closer they get to enemy bullets. Once the Soul Gauge has been filled, it can be activated. Activating Soul Collect temporarily turns all bullets on the screen into souls. If used correctly, players can use this to escape dreadful situations, while earning large amounts of souls, thus earning more points.
New modes and a new array of difficulties
Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage has expanded and adjusted the modes and difficulty levels of its base game to open up the game to more players. Check the game modes and difficulties below:
Game modes
Arcade: A mode for enjoying the classic shoot ’em-up experience Boss Rush: A mode for taking on the bosses all in a row Hardcore: A high-difficulty mode that charges the soul gauge twice as quickly, but any damage will result in a game over Novice: A mode that unlocks the bombs and life given as clear rewards Dual: A new single-player mode added to Shikhondo: Soul Eater Refine, allowing players to enjoy both characters by switching between the two when moving at lower speeds. This allows players to switch out and attack according to the situation or enjoy the co-op story through a new single-player mode.
Difficulties
Difficulties range from Easy, Normal, and Hard, with added Extreme and Story modes. The Story mode plays out like Extreme mode, but players avoid all damage.
The team behind Shikhondo: Soul Eater is aiming to produce the “perfected version” of this game as Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage by improving gameplay and adding new modes. It is planned to make the game more accessible to all players and reach a new global audience on Steam and the Nintendo Switch.
It’s important to note that if owners of the previous title purchase the deluxe version of Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage they will get up to 55% off. Check the game’s Steam page to read more.
