Okay, so imagine this: Spike Chunsoft pops up and casually drops a bombshell — they’re releasing “Shuten Order” digitally on the Nintendo Switch, but only in Europe and North America. Yeah, right, like we didn’t see that coming.
So here’s the thing, it’s a collab between EXNOA (who’s behind DMM Games) and Tookyo Games. And guess what? Kazutaka Kodaka, the genius behind Danganronpa, is leading this wild ride. I mean, it’s like they threw a bunch of game genres into a blender — you get stealth action, horror, and a visual novel that spins so many perspectives it makes your head spin. But hey, enough about that, let’s dive deeper down this rabbit hole.
Alright, it’s like the world’s practically ending — 168 days left on the clock. We’re talking doom, gloom, and some religious cult named Shuten Order running rampant. Out of nowhere, their leader is offed. But plot twist — they come back to life as Rei Shimobe. Except, yeah, their memory’s wiped. And no pressure, but they’ve got four days to figure out who done it, thanks to some godly trial. Nuts, right?
And then these two so-called “angels” show up. God’s messengers, they say. Himeru’s all impatience and bad vibes towards Shuten, while Mikotoru acts all calm and wise but dodges the serious questions. Classic.
Oh, mark your calendars, by the way — the digital drop’s set for September 5, 2025. Let’s zip through the roster real quick:
– Rei Shimobe, our resurrection poster child, voiced by Mitsuki Saiga.
– Kishiru Inugami, Minister of Justice. Guy’s a trip — says the wackiest stuff. Daisuke Ono’s his voice.
– Yugen Ushitora, running the health show, also moonlighting as “Gatekeeper to the Afterlife” (no biggie), voiced by Yuki Ono.
– Teko Ion, the science dude — genius but zero charm. Ayumu Murase gives him a voice.
– Honoka Kokushikan, pulling the strings in education, rumored puppet master, voiced by Inori Minase.
– Manji Fushicho, police chief with a temper, hates heretics, wishes for peace — go figure. Shizuka Ito’s got her voice covered.
So, what’s the deal here? I don’t know if it’s the chaotic blend of themes or the bizarrely fascinating cast. Either way, I think I’m in. Or maybe it’s just a classic case of FOMO. Who knows.
