Classic shooter makes a comeback in Mamorukun ReCurse!

Clear River Games is back with another Japanese classic, this time taking the classic G.Rev shooter Mamorokun Curse! and giving it some modern-day touches with Mamorokun ReCurse!

Coming to "modern consoles" and PC later this year, the game has received a shiny new trailer which showcases the game's pastel-coloured graphics and multiple protagonists. The game has an updated Pocky and Rocky vibe to it, which can only be a good thing!

Based on the original 2008 Japanese arcade release, the game is being resuscitated by developer TAKE X OFF, the team behind the stellar Under Defeat which we reviewed back in February. 

From the Press Release:

In this adorably cute vertical-scrolling shoot ‘em up, players use Curse Bullets to fuel intense risk-reward gameplay, dynamically altering the difficulty as they play. Players can take out smaller enemies and clear projectiles from the screen, or choose to power up larger enemies to make them harder to defeat. The stronger the foe, the higher the score, and players can even curse themselves to take more damage.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese mythology in a family-friendly package, Mamorukun ReCurse! sees players take on the role of Mamoru, who wakes up in the Netherworld following his untimely death. In order to stop the Netherworld being consumed by the dark, Mamoru and a group of new friends must seal the gate to The World of Darkness.

Packed with content, Mamorukun ReCurse! includes Story Mode, Arcade Mode, Challenge Courses, alternative costumes, and a new Gallery Mode. The game also includes all previously-released DLC characters, giving players plenty of reasons to play again and again.

No news yet as to any physical release information, but fingers crossed! Meantime, here's the trailer to get you excited!
