Press release:
PARIS – October 16th, 2019 – KUNAI Confirmed to Adorably & Efficiently Lay Waste to Robot Fools Early 2020.
– Jumpy stabby techroidvania inflicting double damage on PC & Switch, new gameplay video showcases a few minutes of gameplay.
Publisher The Arcade Crew and developer TurtleBlaze announced today that the adorable but deadly “KUNAI” is set to unleash seriously cute damage on your PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop in early 2020.
Dropping all-new gameplay footage, fans can get a look at the various weaponry and moves that will be at their disposal as they slice and stab their way through a hellish but aesthetically pleasing warscape.
An adventure best explored through ninja-tier parkour and best survived with razor sharp combat reflexes, KUNAI is a warrior’s delight, where right off the bat players have ample opportunities to reduce enemies to scrap metal while swinging on ropes across chasms, dashing up walls to lofty goals, and dropping in on unsuspecting targets.
In KUNAI, players dish out swift death as Tabby, an emotive, tablet-powered hero infused with an ancient warrior’s soul. Tabby is resuscitated and rebooted in the midst of a futuristic war between AI robots gone wrong.
Humanity is on the brink of extinction thanks to a famed inventor’s botched AI creation, and Tabby sets out to solve things as any handheld consumer electronic warrior hybrid would: with heaps of violence.
With vertical and horizontal level design aimed at keeping you on your toes, navigating the fast-paced world in KUNAI is engaging, challenging and immensely rewarding. Slicing baddies and soaring through KUNAI’s sprawling world with Tabby is a joyous escape, and toppling the land’s merciless bosses in all-out showdowns is immensely satisfying.
To keep tabs on KUNAI, slash your way over to the official website, ambush The Arcade Crew on Twitter, or pin the game to your Steam wishlist.
