Kakehashi Games and Japanese hip hop group/game developer Don Yasa Crew announced its new 2D top-down biopunk action game Sonokuni will launch on Nintendo Switch alongside the previously announced PC (Steam) version.
Moreover, Sonokuni will be playable at TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2025 in Kichijoji from March 8 to March 9. While fans wait for the event, Kakehashi Games gave fans another sneak peek with the release of a new gameplay trailer.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via the official Steam page:
Battle your way through a biopunk and Japanese mythology-inspired landscape filled with over-the-top, hip hop-infused 2D action. A single hit means death, but use your time-bending skills to take down your oppressors and you might yet save your dying nation.
Become a harbinger of vengeance
Engage in up-close-and-personal combat against bizarre genetically mutated enemies. Attack, parry and bend time to your will to make it out clean on the other side. Fail and gain the wisdom needed to refine your strategy.
A mind-bending take on Japanese mythology
Take on the role of Takeru, a lone assassin tasked with raiding a surreal superpower empowered by biotechnology. Join in her struggle to balance the morality of extreme violence against the defence of her own people, in a story inspired by real-life Japanese mythology.
Immerse yourself in neon-drenched hip hop
Let the intense hip hop soundscape and neon-soaked visuals assault your senses until they are raw. Every moment is punctuated with a visceral soundtrack from Japanese developer and hip hop group, DON YASA CREW.
Disclosure: Final Weapon is an official media partner of TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2025.
