TOKYO – Oct. 1, 2020 – Orangeblood, developer Grayfax Software and publisher PLAYISM’s RPG inspired by ‘90s hip-hop, brings beats and bullets today to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

In an alternate take on the late 1990s, gangs are at war on the artificial island of New Koza off the coast of Okinawa. The prisoner Vanilla finds herself tasked with a secret mission she must complete to earn her freedom. Assemble a fierce all-woman crew of ass-kickers, and deliver beatdowns to mobsters, robots, and other gang threats that stand in their way.

It’s 40 oz. and 7.62mm bullets to freedom, with tons of procedurally-generated firearms with unique stat modifiers to collect while turning the tides of the gang war. Battle yakuza thugs in turn-based combat that rewards strategically-timed reloads. Score some sweet sneaker drops, kicks that kick up the heroes’ stats.

Brought to life with detailed pixel art, Orangeblood’s radiant look captures the grimy feeling of the era mixed with the neon-soaked cityscapes of urban Japan. Vibe with an original hip-hop soundtrack inspired by the greats of the decade mixed with Japanese influences.

“I know everyone has been stuck inside most of this year and you haven’t been able to travel to your usual holiday destinations,” said Grayfax, sole developer of Orangeblood. “I put a lot of work into the world design of Orangeblood, so I hope that you can all enjoy the exotic, Tropical Japanese vibes to take the edge off being stuck at home.”

Orangeblood is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese for $19.99.

TOKYO – Jan. 14, 2019 – Orangeblood, a JRPG inspired by 90s hip-hop, will take over PC on Jan. 14, 2019. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One releases will roll up on 20-inch rims in Q2 2020.

Publisher PLAYISM and developer Grayfax Software invite gangstas to an alternate history of late 20th century Japan where criminal syndicates rule the man-made island of New Koza. Guide Vanilla, a prisoner of a gang war offered her freedom in exchange for completing a top-secret mission shrouded in mystery. Vanilla will build a crew of tenacious-yet-cute companions to help earn her liberty, and mayhem as well as sweet loot drops ensue.

Loot the best randomly generated guns and armor-boosting kicks a criminal can find, including legendary equipment featuring one-of-a-kind abilities. Take the “pray” out of “spray,” reloading tactically to keep your defenses up and using special abilities to mow down foes. New Koza is full of mobsters, robots, and other threats, but a quick stop at a vending machine will refresh your party before the next gun-blazing battle.

Groove along to the hip-hop soundtrack in and out of combat. Handcrafted character sprites feature a pixelated aesthetic matching the era of the music. Jump into gun-toting action that stays fresh as the random gear system, art style, and soundtrack play off of each other.

“I wanted to make an immersive story with g-funk tunes where the only things that matter are your guns, sweet shoes, and the good times you have with them,” said Grayfax, sole developer of Orangeblood. “Randomly generated gear means each encounter can be just as unpredictable as the island of New Koza itself, but the good times will be guaranteed.”

Orangeblood will be available on Steam in Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese for $19.99 USD/€19.99.
