We aim to shock and awe gamers with an unapologetically classic dark fantasy experience inspired by the Roleplaying games that many of us grew up with.”

Azra Games, founded by veteran game designer Mark Otero, renowned for his 0-to-1 work on Electronic Arts’ top-grossing Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (his eighth character-collector RPG), is supported by a skilled team of seasoned gaming experts. UnGodly, Azra Games’ debut “4th generation RPG,” aims to bring the dark fantasy genre into the modern age by seamlessly blending mobile and PC-quality experiences.

“We are pioneering the 4th generation of mobile RPGs, bridging the gap between mobile and console/PC experiences,” said Otero. “UnGodly will deliver open worlds, real-time party-based battles, and extended PvE campaigns, redefining mobile gaming with console-quality experiences. With a growing expert team and solid funding, we’re excited to bring Western gamers unparalleled gameplay on both mobile and PC.”

Rack-Up Continuous Kills With Strategic Dash-And-Slash Movement

Montreal, Canada, 8 May 2025 | Solideo is excited to announce the upcoming release of Sick Samurai, a retro anime-style top-down action game. Slice through enemies room by room in this blindingly fast and bloody action game with instant-death combat. The demo will be available on Steam on May 29th. 

Master the Girameki Technique 

Inspired by the classic top-down instant death game genre, Solideo masterfully blends aesthetic retro anime-inspired art designs with a sick original soundtrack behind high-violence action mechanics. Set on a surreal island that fuses Edo-period Japan with gritty 20th-century urban America, begin your journey as an aspiring young fighter. Retrieve a mask and sword from Genyu, an infamous ex-samurai who oversees your combat training. Throw yourself through fast-paced enemy-filled territory as you master the Girameki Technique to become the greatest fighter on Furikyu Island.

Precision, Speed, And Style   

Sick Samurai features hand-crafted levels, each offering multiple paths and strategies, as well as various upgrades and item choices that players will make as they progress. Players can restart levels instantly upon death, and repetition is necessary for mastering the game’s combat, which largely revolves around a blazing-fast dash-and-slash mechanic. Use your sword combined with a secondary weapon: Kunai, Stun bombs, or smoke bombs to clear each room. Precision with weapon use is vital. If you miss your dash attack,  a drum will beat; this is your recovery time needed before that skill move can be used again. Dodge, or swiftly wield your secondary weapon to defend yourself until the beat. 

As you clear the level, a point counter is present in the top right corner. Increase your points with the Combo Counter by performing consecutive kills in a short period of time; take too long between kills or miss an attack, and you’ll lose your combo. Style points are earned from the variety in which you land your kills. Multikill points can be combined with style points, which can be earned by killing multiple enemies with a single attack. Race against the clock to complete the Genyu cigarette challenge; finish the level by the time Genyu finishes smoking to receive an additional point for your overall score. The highest score you can achieve in a level is a 10, you’ll need that time bonus for a perfect score.  Precision, speed, reflexes, and planning will all be put to the test.

Eccentric Characters With Unique Styles

Sick Samurai also features fully voice-acted dialogue with branching choices that will shape the player’s relationships with the game’s diverse and eccentric cast of characters, including Jones, an “ex” gangster turned proprietor of a jazz bar, and Spike, Jones’ lazy pet Rottweiler. The game’s aesthetics transition and change as you progress through each Act. From the traditional Edo period, then to an urban American jazz and rap vibe, ending on a more elevated, monk-like, and religion-centered look. Each stylized Act has a main boss who also has their own distinct design and fighting style. 

Game Features: 

• Dash Through Decapitations  –  To beat the Cigarette timer, clear the level in an insanely fast fashion before the timer runs out, earns you 1 point needed to achieve a perfect score. 
• Chase The Deadliest Score – Increase your overall score by stacking Style and Multikill points, kill enemies consecutively to keep the Combo Counter running. 
• Utilize Weapons Intentionally –  Smoke bomb, Stun bomb, Sword, Kunai, and various kinds of specially mixed sakes that offer passive upgrades, all must be used in a coordinated effort to complete levels. 
• Eccentric Cast Of Characters – A Unique and diverse cast of characters is introduced, including boss Samurai with varying strategies and skills. 
• Devastate Enemy Formations – Multiple paths and strategies, upgrades, and item choices that players unlock as they progress.
• Chill and Kill To Original Lofi Soundtrack – Infused with elements of hip hop, jazz, funk, soul, and more. 

Sick Samurai’s demo will be available on Steam on May 29th. Wishlist to stay up to date with Sick Samurai’s demo release! Learn more about the game through the game’s website.
