We had a year 2023 which took our breath away because a quantity of AAA which will be difficult to repeat in the future. So much so that if we look beyond January 1, 2024, we find names that will land in stores, but few with a claim even similar to that of the Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield, Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo IV, Hogwarts Legacyetc.
But it turns out not. That there is a lot of life in 2024 and not just projects fat, some of the most important, but others that aren’t so in the spotlight but have shown enough to give them hope that they will be relevant. This is the case of a strange creature called The spirit of the samuraiwhich does not have a release date but which we will be able to enjoy throughout next year and of which we have already seen one alpha very promising.
Several sexes and only one cat
It is striking about this title that its creators, Digital Mind Games, dared to do so much because The spirit of the samurai This isn’t a typical game that takes the path and exploits its idea in a simple way. On the contrary, this title navigate between two waters very clear and defined: that of like a soulbecause of its difficulty, and that of metroidvaniafor the point of view to the platform and those areas that we can only access once we have obtained a certain item or completed a mission.
On, The spirit of the samurai It’s set in an era that many fans love, like the samurai era, although here they’ve improved that formula considerably with some crazy additions. For example, integrate many monsterswhich are more terrifying, or zombies, which will pursue us throughout the adventure and give this frenetic touch to the action.
But there is one element that makes this particularly fun. The spirit of the samurai how is Chisai, a warrior cat who can make eyes at you or take them out if you’re careless, and who you can encourage in combat to attack enemies. His voracity has no limits and he is sure to delight those players who waste their time on social networks visiting accounts with cats. Lots of cats. All cats.
Very original animations
To all of the above, which means something, because the game has very different elements that it combines in a surprising way, we add the graphic aspect, which is truly one of the most original that we will see next year. It’s because it’s entertainment made with the technique of stop motionwhich is the same as that used in Nightmare before Christmas or the Pinocchio by Guillermo del Toro for Netflix.
So that’s another incentive to watch out for when this stranger comes out. like a soul metroidvania with zombie samurai, warrior cats, brave spirits and pseudo 2D graphics stop motion from a platform perspective. And yes, it’s one of the most anticipated for 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC… even if it may seem strange to you.
