Episode 092 - Devil Blade Reboot (February 2026)

About this episode

MetalFRO and Addicted discuss the updated mechanics of Devil Blade Reboot by Shigatake, a game from a Japanese doujin developer.

In episode 091, MetalFRO and Addicted cover a game from an unlikely source - a Japanese doujin developer who's much more of an artist, and not one well known for shooting games. But Shigatake has long had a love for the genre, and it turns out, his love goes back at least to the mid-90's when he developed Devil Blade within Dezaemon Plus. Now he updated that formula with new mechanics in Devil Blade Reboot!
