Shuten Order Character Trailers Showcase the Game’s Cast

Sure, let’s dive into this unruly mess of a game announcement. So, Spike Chunsoft is throwing out this digital-only thing called Shuten Order for the Nintendo Switch. Europe and North America, you’re invited. All digital, no physical copies—how modern is that? Or frustrating, depending on your view of tactile media.

So here’s the deal. EXNOA, those folks running DMM Games, are teaming up with Tookyo Games—the brainy bunch behind Danganronpa. That means Kazutaka Kodaka is steering this ship through multiple genres—like a mix of stealthy horror action and visual novel chaos. Basically, it’s like five games crammed into one. Can I say that? I just did.

“168 days left until the world goes kaboom.” Talk about optimism. So, humanity’s on the brink. And there’s some bizarro religious group—Shuten Order—going all apocalyptic. Surprise fact: they form their own little country, and someone in this cult-like nation knocks off the Founder. That’s where it gets twisty.

The Founder pulls a Jesus—comes back as Rei Shimobe. Sort of. They don’t remember squat and only have four days to live. Two angels (imaginary friends, maybe?) show up, telling Rei to solve their own murder to get a proper second chance at living. How’s that for a divine reality show?

Expect this bundle of eccentricity on the Nintendo eShop by September 5, 2025. Mark it, or don’t. I’m not your calendar, but hey, that’s the date.

Rei Shimobe, our resurrected buddy, has a voice: Mitsuki Saiga. Thought I’d mention that. Important? Maybe. It added flavor to my zigzag musings.

Then we got Kishiru Inugami—Justice Minister. Weird title, “Ghost White Arbitrator.” Unpredictable, says whatever pops into his head. Likes his legal highs. Who doesn’t, right?

Yugen Ushitora handles Health, manages a hospital—which, fittingly, sounds like a gate to the afterlife. Loves his sister, no idea why that stuck out. Just did.

Over in Science, it’s Teko Ion, the genius—awful at small talk, but hey, who needs charm with an IQ like that? Designs revolutionary tech, apparently.

Honoka Kokushikan juggles education and information—master of confusion, says the grapevine. That’s not suspicious at all. Ambition’s got her sights on being the next Founder, whispers say.

Manji Fushicho does security. “Queen of Heretic Hunting.” Wow. She’s touchy, likes things peaceful (ironically), fights off heretics. An enigma wrapped in more enigma.

Jumping back to those angels: Himeru and Mikotoru. One’s panicky, full of energy (nobody knows whence it came). The other’s as cool as the other side of the pillow. They’re guiding Rei, but their plans—whose are they, really? Ambiguous at best.

Got lost in this psychological tapestry, which is either art or madness. Or maybe both. Who cares—anyway, where was I?
