KIWIWALKS, the studio behind the WitchSpring series, has released the first gameplay trailer for its upcoming action RPG, Shade of the Marionette: The Story of Piyorita. And while the game takes place in the same existing world as WitchSpring, it’s doing something a little different this time around, with a much bigger focus on real-time action and combat.
Shade of the Marionette: The Story of Piyorita follows Piyorita, a mysterious doll born without emotions or memories.

As for the gameplay, the new trailer gives us a look at Piyorita taking on enemies and massive boss dolls using several different weapons, with each weapon having its own attack speed, reach, and abilities, that players can switch between them during combat. She can also reflect enemy magic and use the environment to her advantage, including launching attacks from higher ground. I have to say that I’m loving...
