Waking up besides a dead family, armed with your father’s revolver and a strange cat, Itta sets you out on a journey of revenge across the island of Jigoku, in a far-future fantasy bullet-hell adventure inspired by the first Zelda and Titan Souls.
The former inspiration means Jigoku is a sprawling environment filled with mysterious characters, different areas to explore, secrets to uncover, and weapons to unlock. From the remnants of cities filled with odd monoliths to overgrown temple ruins where strangers lurk, Itta promises a colorful and unique world to discover on your journey.
The latter also means that your journey is one fraught with danger, from myriad challenging bosses. The trailer shows a few – a relentless stranger blocking your shots with a huge blade, a transforming blob of a beast with a wide-fanged grin, a cloaked warrior orbited by twin pillars – but all will test your skills and evasion with bullet-hell chaos. Dodging bullet patterns and using the right weapons in your arsenal will be key to surviving Itta’s battles.
Itta is slated to released on Steam in 2019; for more details and screenshots, you can visit the game’s site and Twitter page.
