Ira

Publisher Nicalis has announced their title Ira for Nintendo Switch 2. The title is planned for a digital launch sometime this summer.

Ira is an action roguelike shoot ’em up with procedurally generated levels. You’ll be playing as a young girl searching through a city for fragments of an artifact that will restore peace.

You can read a full description below, translation courtesy of Gematsu:

In IRA, players assume the role of a young girl named Yeon who bravely battles the forces of Chaos by channeling the power of an ancient god and their apostles. Your overarching task is to locate the scattered pieces of the powerful Ira crystal—rebuilding it is the only way to defeat Chaos and restore peace. You attack by firing arrows from any of 150+ different bows, and you can earn many different kinds of power-ups, with both active and passive effects.

Developed by Korean studio ABShot with Nicalis, IRA is a unique anime-inspired shooter with procedurally generated levels and random weapon drops, ensuring a different experience each time it’s played. A key to the game’s appeal are the hypnotic “bullet hell” patterns of the enemies’ (and bosses’) attacks; their projectiles vary greatly in movement type, frequency, visual appearance, speed, size, effects and destructive power. To survive, you must quickly assess their intricate weblike geometry, seek out the short-lived gaps in between and return fire before the bullets overwhelm you.

Ore Creative began to show interest in bringing Ira to Switch in February. Today, the indie developer officially announced that it’s happening.

A simple but effective message from the official Ira Twitter page reads:

Ira is a point-and-click adventure game in which players “explore alien landscapes, relive past events, and watch as the nature of reality becomes porous and untrustworthy.” It’s planned for release at some point this year.
