CFK and DeerFarm have unveiled Shikhondo: Blue Pieta, a new installment in the side-scrolling bullet hell saga. The plot moves the action to a foreign city, where a reaper apprentice and a vampire hunter will see their destinies intertwined. The game renews its offering with modern-themed settings and an updated gameplay system, including full voice acting and ultra-wide monitor support.
New Mechanics and Expanded Technical Support 🎮
The development introduces two central elements. Soul Collect allows converting enemy bullets into points by dodging them at close range, incentivizing risky play. The Counter Bomb is a defensive resource that, when activated with the correct timing, nullifies damage and counterattacks. The PC version, arriving on May 18th, prioritizes ultra-wide support. Console versions are planned for a later date.
A Modern City, But Full of Old Bullets 😅
It's curious that, after moving the action to a contemporary city, the solution for everything is still dodging a screen full of colorful projectiles. At least now, with Soul Collect, you can pretend that sea of bullets is just a shower of experience points. A vampire hunter and a reaper in an urban environment, and the most serious problem is still the lack of space to move. Something very typical of city life.
