Through its unique VR gameplay, adding twists to the inspirational gameplay of old-school classics like Star Fox and Touhou, Yuki challenges the player’s spatial awareness and precise reflexes across multiple levels, each filled to the brim with procedurally placed enemies, obstacles, and bullets. Roguelite elements — such as a persistent progression system that allows the player to improve his skills by equipping several power ups, new abilities and weapons at the beginning and during each run — raise the stakes and makes the player want to come back for more and try new evolving strategies to beat the game. 

Yukiis an upbeat mix of the bullet-hell and roguelike genres in VR set in a multidimensional anime universe.  Enter a kid’s wild imagination and fly by controlling Yuki’s action-figure using your hands. Move your body to dodge bullets and obstacles, while fighting evil forces that want to control the universe, in this challenging game where each defeat is just another step to get closer to victory. Players will have to think on their feet and engage in a smooth choreography to battle enemies while dodging bullets and obstacles.

Yuki offers a unique VR blend of the Bullet Hell and Roguelike genres. Both genres are known for their high difficulty, but YUKI is designed to be accessible and enjoyable by everyone. By starting as a “pick up and play” experience, it quickly grows into a very challenging and strategic game, where the player will feel their power progression through a workshop where they can upgrade their action-figure to face the increasing challenges. As they sharpen their skills against hordes of enemies and challenging boss fights, each run will get the player closer towards victory, while unlocking new Bladewing weapons for Yuki and more and more power-ups.

Yukiwill launch July 22nd on Oculus Quest, Quest 2, Rift and all Steam VR platforms at a price of 19,99 USD|EUR, with a PSVR release coming later this year.

"With Yuki, we wanted to make each run feel like a completely new game. Every session feels like an opportunity to invest in a strategy that you haven't tried yet, and to tackle a uniquely-generated combination of bullet patterns and obstacles. When it comes to level design, our ultimate goal was to embrace three-dimensional gameplay in a way that would be impossible in "pancake" (non-VR) games. We wanted to create challenges that use 3D space as much as possible, making players perform precise and fluid movements in all axes, as if they were dancing with the enemy bullets. When we hear players saying 'I couldn't imagine a game that uses spatial awareness like this if VR didn't exist', we know we did a good job," said Pedro Câmara (Lead Game Designer; Associate Director).

Oculus Quest pre-orders start today with a 10% discount. Those who pre-order will be able to play the game early 48h before the game launches!

Yuki is coming to PC (Oculus Quest, Quest 2, Rift and Steam VR) on July 22, 2021 for 19,99 USD|EUR, with a PlayStation VR release to follow later in 2021.
