About the Game

❀ ABOUT THE GAME ❀


❋ Continuing the long line of shoot'em up classics!
Boasts unique and charming protagonists, a variety of bosses with bizarre and fantastical designs, and waves upon waves of enemies to keep players on their toes!

❋ The charm of Eastern fantasy!
In reimagining the Youkai from Korean folktales and historical records from a new perspective, the game features inventive original characters drawn in an elegant fashion and a gripping story fully-voiced by professional voice actresses.

❋ Soul collection system
Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage features a unique system called 'Soul Collect', where players can charge their 'Soul Gauge' as they avoid enemy bullets. It's perilous, but the closer players stay to bullets, the faster their gauges charge!

Then, players can use their dodge to evade bullets for a moment!
Nullify enemy attacks and shoot for a new high score!

❋ Various game modes!
Play through the main story in Arcade mode, focus down the bosses in Boss Rush mode, or get double souls but lose in a single hit in Hardcore mode.

Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage also features a new Dual mode, a strategic single-player mode that allows switching between the two protagonists to match the circumstances players face!

In addition, the game has been reworked, adding new optional features and even a new stage!
