Stuttgart, Germany – September 28th 2022 – Strictly Limited Games, in partnership with Mebius & Starfish-SD are proud to announce that Snow Battle Princess Sayuki will receive an exclusive, limited physical release. This Run and Gun shares the gameplay legacy with its spiritual predecessor Pocky & Rocky and will be available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Preorders for the Limited Edition and Special Limited Edition are kicking off on Sunday, October 2nd at 12 AM CET (midnight), only at https://www.strictlylimitedgames.com/.

About the game:

The snow goddess Sayuki is in love with a mortal boy who has fallen under a grave illness. Therefore, you go on a journey to find a remedy for his condition and gain the trust of the villagers, who are wary of the goddesses. If only the forces of evil wouldn’t get in the way.

With your trusty bunny Toto at your side, use different types of snow magic, upgrade them and blast your way through the hordes of yokai and other monsters standing in your way! Battle Princess Sayuki rewards an aggressive playstyle!

Snow Battle Princess Sayuki can also be played with a friend who takes the role of Sayuki’s sister Koyuki. Playing in 2-player couch co-op mode will turn the game into a competition. Who will have the highest score at the end?

Snow Battle Princess Sayuki originally was planned to be a part of the Pocky and Rocky/Kiki Kaikai series. The game changed its appearance due to TAITO being acquired by Square Enix in the fall of 2005.

Instead of scrapping the whole game, developer Starfish took their hard work and transformed the Pocky & Rocky exterior and narrative into Snow Battle Princess Sayuki. Combining the cuteness of Cute ’em Ups and the intense action of isometric fast-paced scrolling shooters, the game turned out to be a true fan-favorite within a small but passionate following and was released for the PS2 and Wii back in 2008.

Features:

• The spiritual successor of Pocky and Rocky with the familiar gameplay and a combo meter twist!
• Single and two-player modes
• Fresh setting using elements from Japanese and Western myths
• Hand-drawn meets pixel art for a unique style
