Inti Creates announced a free demo of 2D action “paper craft” platformer Majogami is now available for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in the Nintendo eShop (2). A new trailer highlighting the Majogami demo was also released.
Majogami launches on October 30 for Nintendo Switch ($34.99) and Nintendo Switch 2 ($39.99). Digital pre-orders for Majogami are now live in the Nintendo eShop with a limited-time 10% discount, and a PC (Steam) version will launch at a later date.
Lastly, here’s an overview of Majogami, via the official Steam page:
Paper craft character action! Majogami – the story of one girl who cuts gods like paper.
Majogami stars Shiroha, a young woman who has lost her memory, who travels alongside Shiori, her father who has been turned to paper. With her katana, “Kamikiri”, in hand, she travels through a bizarre world and cuts through the horrors she finds there in this 2D character action platformer.
Players take control of Shiroha who can move and attack instantly with her “Setsuna” ability, taking out enemies without missing a beat.
Along her journey, Shiroha will collect cards imbued with her memories called Recarte, and face off against the diverse Majogami, divine “Craft Witches” who control the world.
These Majogami, with twisted hearts and powerful magic, stand in Shiroha’s way as she tries to escape their domain. In addition to her Setsuna attack, she can rely on Shiori’s defense sigils and the power of the guardians she meets, the Astrals, to transform herself into new fighting forms.
By defeating these Majogami, Shiroha can slowly regain her memories of both her and Shiori’s life, deepening their bonds and revealing her story.
Experience the touching family story and see Shiroha’s determination to make it through this twisted world to the end.
Experience a strange and unique world!
In a brand new setting created by INTI CREATES art director Yuji Natsume*, Majogami combines paper craft and dark visuals in the world, characters, and game design.
Be immersed in the lush setting and artwork as you delve into the action gameplay.
※Main character and art designer for “Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon” and the “Blaster Master Zero” series. Main heroine designer for “Mighty No. 9“.
“Setsuna” brings unprecedented speed and freedom to combat!
Use Setsuna to dive fearlessly at powerful enemies to slice them up quickly!
With a single button press, summon a unique Japanese-inspired effect as you slice your foe in two.
Not only a mere attack, Setsuna will allow you move to areas you wouldn’t otherwise, as well as allow you to dodge attacks when timed correctly.
Master Setsuna, and you’ll experience satisfying combat like no other.
“Astralize” with the power of song!
With the energy you charge using Setsuna, you’ll be able to transform Shiroha by borrowing the power of the gods known as Astrals.
A lush animation accompanies these powerful transformations as Shiroha powers up.
When she “Astralizes”, Shiroha can weave a song together with the Astral to summon her ultimate ability, the Celestial Serenade.
Its overwhelming power can send her cleaving through even the world itself, becoming a crucial tool in your arsenal.
A rich story with a colorful cast
The Majogami standing in your way each have a unique and charming design.
Each sporting their own “obsession”, these witches will make the fight a tough one for Shiroha, showing off their prowess with a full-screen animation.
You’ll also unlock new sub-stories that reveal more about the lives of Shiori and other characters’ pasts beyond the main story.
Please enjoy the world and its story, all presented with full Japanese voice acting.
