D3PUBLISHER Inc. Announces English Reimagining of the Classic Hack ‘n Slash “Onee Chanbara” Series for North America and Europe

Oakland, CA – September 8, 2020 — D3PUBLISHER Inc., a leading Japanese games publisher, is excited to announce today that Japanese high-speed action hack ‘n slash zombie slayer game, “Onee Chanbara Origin” will resurrect new life into a North American and European digital launch on October 14 for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC via Steam®.

“Onee Chanbara Origin” is a complete HD remake with all new art style graphics and optimized storytelling, combining both “The Onechanbara” and “The Onechanbara 2” games, which were originally released for PlayStation®2 in 2004 and 2005. Now featuring all renewed main character designs, redesigned by main character “Onechanbara” series designer Katsumi Enami, “Onee Chanbara Origin” tells a new interpretation of the story of the two half-sisters, Aya and Saki, bound by mutual hatred and locked in a brutal fight to the death, eventually overcoming their cruel fate and fighting alongside one another to find their father in this high-speed action-adventure hack ‘n slash game series.

“Onee Chanbara Origin” follows the zombie-hunters, Aya and Saki’s fate into destroying each other and leads into the second of the series, “The Onechanbara 2”. After the sisters overcome their cruel fate in killing one another, they overcome their rivalry against one another and ally together to depart on their journey of finding their father, Oboro, after he leaves behind a message that names “Eva” as the mastermind behind his wife’s death and all of the chaos that ensued between the two sisters, including the vice that made Saki insane and hell-bent on avenging her mother. Little do they know they are coming even closer to the truth and their true enemy.

Play as a zombie hunter and battle through the stages with high-speed real-time swordplay, completing objectives and tasks while hacking and brawling through hordes of the Undead. Each character’s weapons become progressively covered in blood as players fight off zombies in gruesome detail. Occasionally, players may even transform into demons for short bursts of added power and energy with the downside cost of life energy. Each zombie hunter has her own unique abilities, and skillful play is rewarded for cooler combinations. Players can enjoy the game with full English voice-acting or play through with the original Japanese performances with English subtitles. To watch or embed the brand-new “Onee Chanbara Origin” release date trailer on YouTube

Developed by Tamsoft and published by D3PUBLISHER, “Onee Chanbara Origin” will be released digitally on PlayStation®Store and PC via Steam on October 14, which players and fans can now wishlist today. This game has been rated “M for Mature” by the ESRB.

Investment combined with Kickstarter campaign funds, brings a total production budget of $450,000

Barcelona, Spain – September 8th, 2020 – JanduSoft S.L and Grimorio of Games today announced that Game Seer Venture Partners, a venture capital firm based in Aschaffenburg, Germany, has provided full financing for Sword of the Necromancer. The $250,000 investment, combined with funds secured through a crowdfunding Kickstarter campaign, brings a total production budget of $450,000. Sword of the Necromancer is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC in late 2020. 

“Our VC investment and the crowdfunding Kickstarter success highlights the community’s steady love for 2D roguelikes offering couch co-op with procedural elements”, said Bertrand Vernizeau, CEO and Investment partner. “The appeal and support could potentially be explained by the love of gamers for titles such as Wizard of Legend, Moonlighter or Azure Dreams, all while supported by the common interest in games with parallels to Zelda”. 

“The investment from Game Seer has given the team the mentorship and creative freedom to follow our vision for Sword of the Necromancer”, said Jose Antonio Andujar Clavell, CEO and founder of JanduSoft S.L. “We can’t wait for the community to go hands on with Sword of the Necromancer, as we ramp up to a simultaneous PC, current and next-generation console launch in late 2020”.

Sword of the Necromancer ​casts players in the role of Tama, a former rogue determined to resurrect her lover, the priestess Koko, who she swore to protect along her pilgrimage. This brings Tama to a legendary crypt that’s rumoured to hold the power to raise the dead.

It’s there where Tama obtains the Sword of the Necromancer, a cursed relic that can resurrect dead monsters… and turn them into allies in the process. Every enemy you defeat can be transformed into a companion, so it’s up to you how to amass your beastly party.

In addition to monsters to recruit, Tama can also fight using a large variety of weapons, ranging from swords to spears to bows. Nothing lasts forever though, as every time you die you lose all your gear and half of your level. And if you’re really feeling adventurous, Tama can clone herself using the Flask of Homunculus, allowing for a friend to jump in for some two-player local co-op.
