ININ Games has just announced its challenging and addictive title Umihara Kawase BaZooKa! The game is set to release on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in North and South America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand in July.
A teaser trailer was also released with the announcement. Check out the trailer below:
The game is a fast-paced action game where the player’s goal is to clear the screen of enemies by performing skillful combos with their Bazooka and an extraordinary fishing rod. Screens feature moving platforms, perilous obstacles, and quirky enemy sea life. Not forgetting the other players, all eager to secure their victory.
Umihara Kawase is an iconic series of platform games from Japan that feature a young sushi chef named Umihara Kawase, who lives in a world of strange and mysterious seawater creatures.
The game also presents challenging platforming cavorting, where you can use the environment to your advantage. Using the fishing line to hook on enemies or other players to banish it is one of the most important techniques to be mastered in the game.
The multifunctional fishing rod can also be used as a magical grappling hook to overcome obstacles and to quickly travel across the stage, and you can also shoot gigantic balls with your enchanted Bazooka. Running out of ammo should not be an issue as you can catch one of the mysterious creatures and use it to recharge the weapon.
Helmut Schmitz, CEO of ININ Games talks about the game saying,
