Reviews

“...at once precise like a blade, yet with the bludgeoning force of something blunter and heavier... Makes you wonder if more musicians shouldn't consider dabbling in game development”
Edge

“When it all combines, and you finally manage to pull off a perfect run with the bass thumping and Japanese rapping ringing around your ears, you feel cool as all imaginable hell.”
Video Games Chronicle

“Sonokuni is a blisteringly stylish, Hotline Miami-inspired action game that fuses razor-sharp gameplay with a culturally rich narrative and a hypnotic Japanese rap soundtrack.”
Noisy Pixel

About This Game

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.

Take on the role of Takeru, a lone assassin tasked with raiding a surreal superpower empowered by 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.

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.
