Check it out! The following is the back-of-the-box description of the game as you might have seen it circa 1999:
Take control as Crunchyroll-Hime to save the anime club from Y2K in her first-ever video game: Hime’s Quest. Set in 1999, something electric is in the air. A malevolent force has crept into New Crunchy City, wreaking havoc on its technology, and tragically destroying the Anime Club’s precious DVD/VCR combo player. Can you root out the dastardly cretin brazen enough to ruin their meeting?
Here are some of the details announced about the story and features of the newly released game:
-
Crunchyroll-biggest Hime's journey yet takes you on an adventure through eerie forests, mirage-filled deserts, and more.
-
You'll have to hack and slash your way through dungeons and fight totally evil foes who are aligned with Y2K.
-
Sit back and relax in the anime club with Crunchyroll-friends, Hime's or pay a visit to the eerie manga artist Junji Ito, who is currently OBSESSED with spirals.
-
While in some games you can pet the dog, you can only *try* to pet the cat in this one. Can you succeed in patting Yuzu on the head, Crunchyroll-best Hime's friend?
-
VOLUME UP! with a chiptune soundtrack created by Protodome, an 8-bit artist and award-winning composer of the future (time paradox avoided).
From the sounds of it, this game should keep all of the charm and adventure of its original predecessor, and then some! If you played the original game before, let us know what you think about the new version in the comments below!
