Get Ready to Slash Through Cyber-Tokyo This September
Gamers looking for a dose of intense, first-person cyberpunk action won't have to wait much longer. Phoenix Game Productions has officially announced that their upcoming title, Tokyo Underground Killer, will arrive on PC via Steam on September 5th. This highly anticipated slasher, described by its creators as inspired by a 'psychedelic dream,' will be priced at $9.99. While PC players get the first crack, versions for Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 are also in the works, though their release dates are yet to be revealed.
Unleash the Shinjuku Vampire
In Tokyo Underground Killer, players step into the neon-drenched shoes of Kobayashi, a notorious assassin known as 'The Shinjuku Vampire.' As a hired blade for the powerful Gokuraku syndicate, Kobayashi must carve a bloody path through the dark and dangerous alleyways of Tokyo. His mission will bring him face-to-face with ten formidable bosses, ranging from deranged yakuza and vengeful idols to charismatic cult leaders.
Combat in Tokyo Underground Killer promises to be fast-paced and brutal. Players will wield a lightning-fast katana, capable of devastating strikes. Beyond blade work, Kobayashi can unleash a variety of supernatural 'blood' abilities, with ten unique powers at his disposal. These include fiery tornados and life-draining attacks, adding a strategic layer to the intense melee. As players progress, new skills and abilities will become unlockable, further enhancing Kobayashi's deadly arsenal.
A World of Neon and Carnage
The game's world blends neon-soaked cityscapes with ruthless brutality, taking players from the rainy back alleys of Shinjuku to the chaotic storefronts of Akihabara. The narrative unfolds through nearly a hundred unique comic-book style panels, painstakingly crafted by artist Hans Steinbach. Adding to the immersive atmosphere is an original soundtrack composed by the acclaimed Andrew Hulshult, known for his work in other high-octane titles.
Voice acting for Tokyo Underground Killer will be available in both English and Japanese. Fans of classic anime will be thrilled to hear that the Japanese voice cast includes the legendary Hidekatsu Shibata, whose iconic voice has graced series like 'Naruto,' 'One Piece,' and 'Dragon Ball.'
According to the developers, Tokyo Underground Killer is more than just a tale of underground bloodshed. Kobayashi's journey is a path of self-discovery, filled with dark humor, unexpected twists, and relentless action. For those eager to experience the game before its full release, a demo version is currently available on Steam, allowing players to get a taste of the carnage to come.
