Shikhondo: Blue Pieta Announced For Switch 2 And Switch
CFK and DeerFarm have announced Shikhondo: Blue Pieta for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
Shikhondo is an Eastern fantasy bullet hell series, and this new entry is the first in the franchise to scroll from side to side rather than vertically.
The story follows an Eastern grim reaper who crosses the ocean after the trail of an unknown yokai. In a distant city she meets a vampire hunter who has been fighting alone in the dark for years, and when the two meet a new conflict begins.
The game brings back the Soul Collect system in an evolved form. Grazing enemy bullets fills a gauge, and triggering it turns bullets into score pickups and doubles your multiplier, which makes the risk-reward trade-off the core of the play.
The game includes ultra-wide support up to 32:9 resolution, and it offers several modes, including Arcade, Hardcore and Boss Rush. Full voice acting is planned, but the cast has not been announced yet.
The companies have not given a release window for either platform. The first trailer is now out, so you can see the side-scrolling format in action.
Shikhondo is the culmination of everything DeerFarm has built – their craft, their passion, their dedication.
