SONOKUNI | Available now on PC and Nintendo Switch!
​
Battle your way through a biopunk and Japanese mythology-inspired landscape filled with over-the-top, hip hop-infused 2D action. A single hit means death, but use your time-bending skills to take down your oppressors and you might yet save your dying nation.

Features:
  • Become a harbinger of vengeance: Engage in up-close-and-personal combat against bizarre, genetically-mutated enemies. Attack, parry and bend time to your will to make it out clean on the other side. Fail, and gain the wisdom needed to refine your strategy.
  • A mind-bending take on Japanese mythology: Take on the role of Takeru, a lone assassin tasked with raiding a surreal superpower warped with biotechnology. Join in her struggle to balance the morality of extreme violence against the defence of her own people, in a story inspired by real-life Japanese mythology.
  • Immersive, neon-drenched hip-hop: Let the intense hip hop soundscape and neon-soaked visuals assault your senses until they are raw. Every moment is punctuated with a visceral soundtrack from Japanese developer and hip hop group, DON YASA CREW.

Play SONOKUNI on Steam or Nintendo Switch today!

About the developer:
DON YASA CREW (Twitter/X) is a 7-person Japanese hip hop group who in 2019 - during the height of Covid pandemic lockdown in Japan - decided to make a game. With live performances impossible, their aim was to convey their particular have-not-hip-hop style through SONOKUNI - a world and story infused with their raw energetic music and a fresh biopunk take on Japanese mythology.
