The Legend of Kusakari
Nnooo recently announced new plans to localize The Legend of Kusakari for western markets. Librage originally released the game in Japan last May.
Here’s an overview of what the game is about:
You know what’s the worst thing ever? Fighting slimes and dragons knee deep in grass and weeds.
Well if Kusakari has anything to do with it it wont be that way for long. Get your scythe sharpened and jump in to this quirky Japanese adventure puzzle game. Slice through over 50 levels of grass filled action and help those heroes save the kingdom, in battle grounds fit to have a picnic on!
The Scythe:
Rush from blade to blade and then getting hacking! As you slice away at grass your Scythe will become sharper and start to level up. The higher the level the bigger are you can cut using your special ability. Watch out tho’ Kusakari gets pretty ill if he’s not cutting that grass so make sure you eat up those odd blue bits of grass for a health boost (I’m sure there is nothing odd about eating glowing blue grass right!?) then rush off to the next patch!
Finally, you can find the Japanese trailer for the game below, so you can see what it looks like.
