Afro Samurai-skaber afslører action-spillet Furi til PS4

Afro Samurai-skaberen Takashi Okazaki og indie-udvikleren The Game Bakers skriver på PlayStation Blog, at de arbejder hårdt på et nyt projekt kaldet Furi til PlayStation 4. Furi vil fokusere på hårdslående boss-kampe, og har et meget unikt design.

"Furi is the manifestation of this idea that's stuck with me for the past ten years, as I grew as a designer and set up my own indie studio, The Game Bakers. Furi is a game where you fight for a reason. It's a game that teases you before the fight, while you walk toward your fate, the same way you would be pumped up and stressed before a boxing match. As you do, you'll start to piece together about why you're here and what you're fighting for.

And then there are the duels. Furi's combat gameplay is designed with Japanese games in mind — ultra fast-paced and responsive. Your character moves as soon as you send an input. Skills and reflexes are required to dodge and parry the enemy's attacks. You beat your enemies by shooting like in a bullet hell shoot 'em up, and by sword fighting like in a samurai duel. Each boss you face off with has a unique fighting style that you'll have to figure out how to beat... not to mention a unique look designed by Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki. We are still hard at work polishing the game, creating the final bosses, and even throwing in an Easter egg or two. Furi is set to release in 2016, but we'll keep you updated in the meantime!"

Afro Samurai endte med at blive lidt af en guilty pleasure på kontoret, så vi ser frem til at sætte tænderne i Furi.
