Indie publisher Digerati is delighted to announce its bringing Shikhondo - Soul Eater, an intense bullet-hell shoot ‘em up, to Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One this summer (exact date still TBC).

Created by Korean-based independent developer DeerFarm, Shikhondo - Soul Eater features hypnotic barrage patterns, enemies inspired by Asian mythology, and stunning Oriental artwork. Armies of demons known as yokai have escaped from Limbo. They are spreading like a plague across the land, sowing fear and stealing souls. You must destroy the pestilent invaders and free the captured souls from eternal torment. And, for the first time, players will be able to take on Shikhondo with a friend thanks to an all-new 2-player local co-op mode added especially for the console versions. Includes Arcade and Hardcore modes as well.

Five stages of intense bullet-hell action and hypnotic barrage patterns
Game modes include: Arcade, Hardcore, Boss Rush and Local Co-op
Fly close to enemy bullets to fill the Soul Gauge and unleash a super attack for high scores
Two playable characters, each with their own types of attack
Online leaderboards for high score glory
Demonic enemies and bosses inspired by Asian mythology
Stunning and intricate Oriental artwork
Platinum Trophy and 1000G Achievements available respectively for PS4 and Xbox One versions
