Astrolabe Games and Lobo Sagaz Studio have announced that Gurei launches on PC on July 23. Console versions are planned for later with no dates set yet. A free demo is available on Steam.
Inspired by classic Japanese samurai films, the game follows Rei — a spirit tasked with defeating powerful Kami, mystical nature entities. Each victory grants their power and pushes Rei deeper into a surreal world between realities, set inside a castle inhabited by spirits and creatures from Japanese mythology. Defeated Kami don't disappear — they accompany Rei, comment on events, and occasionally offer insight.
Players choose the order in which to challenge bosses, and the difficulty system adapts accordingly — the same enemy can serve as the opening challenge or the final boss depending on the chosen path. Combat combines sword attacks, dodges, and heavy strikes with unlockable abilities gained after each victory, including powered-up attacks, healing, and skills that meaningfully shift the combat style.
