The 2014 title Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae by Japanese indie studio Zenith Blue will be slashing its way onto the Nintendo Switch next week.
According to a listing on the Japanese eShop, the game arrives on 20th September. As it has been released on various other platforms in the west previously and also supports English, it’s expected to be made available in North America and Europe at a later date.
If you’re still not sure about the game at this point, this is a hack and slash brawler focused on high-speed, arena-based action. In typical fashion, you take on the role of a high school student named Misa, who must defend the world at all costs after her friend succumbs to the dark seduction of the Demon Blade.
Enemies are relentless – striking in waves, and requiring you to make use of hand-to-hand combat along with various katana techniques. There are even skill points to upgrade abilities and plenty of punishing bosses to take down.
Take a look at the trailer below and let us know if you would be interested in this samurai-inspired slasher for Switch.

Looks kinda meh to be honest, then again I never really liked hack and slash type games.
I am assuming that the plot is amazing. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This totally looks like my kind of game. Anyone know if it’s any good? I’m honestly almost already sold regardless.
I’m interested for sure i like this type of game. I’d really like a proper Senran Karuga game instead of the glorified tech demo they released.
This looks most honorable.
They should make a new Valis like this
Looks terrible but I am a sucker for arena fighters (I blame the bleach games) so I will toss this on the wish list.
Not great by any stretch of the imagination - but not horrid either. I don't think it is as bad as the 56 metacritic suggest.
$7 with a sale and pS+ discount. It was fine at that price
I have this on Steam, and while it's not great, it is good and enjoyable. It gets somewhat repetitive, but the action and combat is certainly enjoyable.
I'd potentially buy it again depending on price, or perhaps wait for a sale.
I'll play it for the plot.
@iLikeUrAttitude They can be amazing if care is put into them. Yes, this one is just cliche.
Looks like a Niche game for a specific type of gamer. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you can try to appeal to everyone and end up appealing to no one. I think it's better to just make the game how you want it.
This sounds like the game I`ll buy on impulse when there`s a big sale, then secretly love it.
@iLikeUrAttitude If you havent't, give bayonetta series a try. Boss fights are epic and combat is fun
I've never heard of this game but, it sounds and looks pretty rad. I'm so hyped for the Direct that it's actually tough to sleep. Feels kinda like Christmas as a kid. Here's hoping for that Metroid Prime Trilogy HD!
This is a really cheaply made and not very well executed game. It'a not good.
So I guess, the floodgates are truly open then.

Already got it on PC, didn't played it that much but it is ok, not really my kind of game but meh, it's just a little sad that you are just in a plain circle, ennemies come to you and then you slash the way you want with combos, like a proper hack & slash
But at least in an hack & slash or a beat them up, you can actually move around, see some places, tell some story by the environment.
This, is just a circle, but I've heard it's a genre, and some people like it, so why not, but the enemies aren't really diversified so it gets boring pretty quickly in my opinion
Sorry but this looks so boring. A circular area getting attacked in waves, it would just become really monotonous. I think we have moved on with Hack and Slashers since this came out 4 years ago.
Look at Bayonetta or Devil May Cry (the later being a lot older than this)
I like the idea, I wish it were polished more. Can't support a cheaply made title like this when so many better versions of it exist.
Looks a bit like a mix between Ninety Nine Nights and Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers. Doesn't really come across as a triple A game, but it could be entertaining in short bouts.
@LightBeam if that’s the case it sounds like Croixler Sigma, which I found pretty fun when I wanted something light and mindless.
