SEGA has launched the Steam store page for STRANGER THAN HEAVEN, and to the surprise of no one, the game will use Denuvo on PC. Moreover, Microsoft has given us a special look at the game with some brand new gameplay footage from it.
The game’s story will unfold across a version of Japan that may have existed in another life altogether, immersing you in 5 sprawling cities, each modeled after real locations of their respective eras.
Here are more details about those cities:
“1915, Kokura, Fukuoka: home of what was said to be one of the world’s largest foundries, a smoke-scorched town bursting with the passion of hard-driven, equally fiery workers.
1929, Kure, Hiroshima: a port town dominated by Japan’s largest naval arsenal and heavily influenced by the presence of yakuza organizations.
1943, Minami, Osaka: the biggest entertainment district in western Japan, set against the ever-rising tension of a world at war.
1951, Atami, Shizuoka: a bustling seaside getaway synonymous with tourism in postwar Japan.
1965, Shinjuku, Tokyo: Japan’s most iconic pleasure district—a city of swirling and unpredictable chaos.”
In the game, you will assume the role of Makoto Daito. According to the devs, players will experience his struggle through the raw brutality of an ever-changing combat system that feels alive.
You will be able to move his left and right sides independently and instinctively as you attack, defend, and force your way to victory. For instance, you can follow a jab with a crushing blow, send enemies flying with a charged attack, tackle them while they stagger, or pin them to the ground and unleash a relentless flurry of punches.
Moreover, you can block enemy strikes with one hand and instantly counter with the other. Reading their moves and creating your own openings will be key to coming out on top.
Additionally, you’ll master and enhance a wide array of weapons. Players will be able to get their hands on knives, hammers, katanas, and more as they fight their way through era after violent era.
There is currently no ETA for when STRANGER THAN HEAVEN will come out. SEGA has not revealed its PC requirements, either. As soon as it does, I’ll be sure to share them with you.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
