Kakegurui Writer's Yurukill Game is Coming to the West

 

Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is a mystery/adventure with a side of shoot 'em up action, all from the mind of Kakegurui writer Homura Kawamoto. Next up for the title is a western release from NIS America, which plans to bring it to PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch in Spring 2022.

 

The shmup action comes from acclaimed developer G.rev (Under Defeat, Border Down), and you can see a trailer below. 

 

 

NIS America's description:

 

Renowned author Homura Kawamoto delivers a twisted, multifaceted story in Yurukill. Accused of arson and the murders of 21 people, protagonist Sengoku Shunju is forced to fight for his freedom and prove his innocence. As one of six Prisoners, he must pair up with one of five victims, referred to as Executioners, within the confines of the strange and secluded amusement park known as Yurukill Land. Together each of the five teams—Mass Murderers, Death Dealing Duo, Crafty Killers, Sly Stalkers, and Peeping Toms—must face and overcome the entertainment venue’s so-called “attractions” in order to attain what they desire. Should the Prisoners succeed, their crimes shall be pardoned. But if the Executioners win, they will be granted revenge for their loved ones.

 

The in-depth story offers unique gameplay experiences including collating evidence, gathering testimonies, and solving puzzles. Yurukill‘s shoot-’em-up gameplay developed by veteran developer G.rev features action packed and fast-paced combat. In addition, online leaderboards give players the opportunity to see how they stack up against the competition.
