The fan favorite publisher steps in to help Vanillaware finish their dream project.
Vanillaware is a company that’s synonymous with lush, 2D graphics and classic gameplay. Best known in the West for Odin Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Vanillaware has been hard at work on their next big title: Dragon’s Crown. This side-scrolling action game—a spiritual successor to the Japan-only Princess Crown for Sega Saturn—has been an idea that director George Kamitani has been shopping around for thirteen years. Rumors began to surface recently that the PS3 and PS Vita title had ceased development and was set to be canceled. Enter Atlus, who will support Vanillaware in their ongoing development, as well as publish the game in North America.
The Vanillaware-developed title sold shy of 35,000 in the month of September.
In its first month on North American shelves, Muramasa: The Demon Blade sold a little bit under 35,000 units.
The amount of swords in this game rival the amount of original Pokemon.
Muramasa: The Demon Blade, the spiritual successor to developer Vanillaware's Odin Sphere, is a side-scrolling hack-and-slash action game with beautiful hand-drawn artwork and a large world to explore.
