Ten months after its US debut, XSEED will release Vita action game Sumioni: Demon Arts in Europe on January 16. It'll be released exclusively on the PlayStation Store for €9.99/£7.99.
Sumioni is a side-scroller starring the demon Agura, who has the Okami-like power to pause action and alter the world with a mystical paintbrush. For example, you can draw lines of fire to topple guard towers.
Literally translated from Japanese as “Ink Demon,” Sumioni: Demon Arts is set in a fantasy world where players guide an inked character through a colorful landscape portrayed in the classical Japanese “sumi-e” art style.
Taking the role of the ancient Inkdemon Agura, players are able to hack and slash their way through levels while also actively control the environment. By using the PlayStation Vita’s touchscreen capabilities, players can utilize various brushes to change the lay of the land. Need to get Agura up high to assault a fortified tower? Use the Road Brush to paint a platform for him to scale.
