Sukeban Games, developers of the cyberpunk visual novel VA-11 HALL-A, have announced their next game. .45 PARABELLUM BLOODHOUND. Unlike the team’s previous release, the latest game is a 3D action game inspired by Parasite Eve.
Building on Parasite Eve‘s unique blend of real-time and turn-based combat, .45 PARABELLUM BLOODHOUND is an Active Time Action game where “you move and dodge in real time while you wait for an Action bar to fill at a speed determined by character and weapon stats. Once that’s done you can then stop time and plan your offensive.”
Players take on the role of Reila Mikazuchi, “a washed out mercenary whose glory days are long gone. In a last attempt at grabbing life by the horns she decides to go back to the life, only to realize the real enemy isn’t in front of her gun.”
What can players expect?
The whole game plays out inside these highly atmospheric environments peppered with hand-placed encounters. You’ll be roaming around finding secrets hidden all over the game’s world, as well as talking to quite the unique cast of characters. Not to mention cool boss fights at the end of every level.
The team plans for the game to feature seven chapters, five of which are currently playable from start to finish. The story and most gameplay elements are complete.
The game will launch when finished. People in the Kyoto area can demo the game’s first chapter at the BitSummit Drift from July 19-21, this year. Further event demos are expected in the future. The first trailer will release on July 19.
Spanish, English, and Japanese localizations are planned for release, with more possible in the future.
There is no news about VA-11 HALL-A‘s sequel, N1RV Ann-A, though the team has an internal release date it is currently working toward.
