3D action game Homura Hime will launch for PC via Steam in early 2025, publisher PLAYISM and developer Crimson Dusk announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via PLAYISM:
About
Homura Hime is inspired by Japanese anime and aims to perfectly recreate the rich and varied art direction and expressiveness of the genre, and does so as a 3D action game where you dodge enemy barrages from all directions and engage in tense, exhilarating combat.
Alongside Homura Hime, fight against archdemons possessed by deviant emotions, and get closer to discovering the truth behind both the archdemons and her own veiled legacy.
Keep up fast and flashy combos by parrying and dodging enemy attacks in this game’s characteristic action gameplay, and learn new skills and combos to further flesh out your playstyle.
Crimson Dusk
The developer of this game is the Taiwanese indie team Crimson Dusk, formed in May 2020. In 2018, Sam revealed the prototype of Homura Hime, a project he started on his own while he was a student, at a contest. It received a lot of positive feedback, and from there, Crimson Dusk was formed.
Stage Showcase
The very first stage of the game is Adashino, a beautiful place surrounded by greenery but covered in graves and Jizo statues. Here, Homura Hime will have to traverse the terrain with all of the basic actions she’s learned. At the end of the stage, she will have to face the archdemon Agasa, who takes the form of a young girl, in a terrifying battle.
The Story
Welcome to a world where humans and demons coexist. Souls harboring strong emotions and deep regrets at their time of death are transformed into archdemons. Archdemons have the power to corrupt the foundation of the world and contaminate their surroundings. Creatures tainted by this demonic power turn into lowly monsters that operate solely on raw instinct.
Faced with the threat to the world posed by five extremely powerful demon girls, the High Priestess is forced to dispatch Homura Hime—the “Flame Princess” and the strongest exorcist of them all—and her aide, Ann, who are now entrusted with the divine mission of purifying the world and defeating all demons.
