What’s Ikki Unite, and why should I collect this former kusoge?
A classic is now physically available – this week! The popular Japanese strategy game Ikki Unite is finally getting a physical release in Japan, after being available digitally worldwide for some time now. This re-release of the classic game will be shipping from Playasia on September 19th, 2024.
If you’ve been itching to experience the thrill of leading a team into a fight with the swarm, Ikki Unite is a must-play. Get a copy before you’re waiting on a reprint for another obscure game.
But here’s the catch: the physical release will only be available in Japan. So if you’re outside of Japan and want to get your hands on a physical copy, you’ll need to look into importing it – luckily Playasia ships worldwide!
Limited Edition copies will also be available – check them out here!
So what’s Ikki Unite anyway?
Ikki Unite is a Japanese strategy game that originally debuted in 2008. It’s a reimagining of the classic 1985 arcade game Ikki! Face off against a locust plague threatening our character’s very existence. Enlist up to 16 friends in this erratic multiplayer bullet hell, sprinkled with Roguelite mechanics. This isn’t just a game; it’s a rebellion bringing back the charm, the chaos, and the “What am I even playing?” vibe of the original 1985 classic.
Because every game deserves a redemption arc, even this one. Can a kusoge become something more? Get ready for a journey filled with laughter, wrinkled eyes, and the kind of fun that only comes when you don’t take yourself too seriously. Welcome back, Ikki, we’ve absolutely not missed you.
