In 2018, Gekido: Kintaro's Revenge was re-released for the Nintendo Switch,[3] PlayStation 4,[4] Xbox One,[5] and Microsoft Windows.[6]

Plot

The game focuses on Tetsuo, who has returned to his sensei's house only to be dispatched to a remote farming village where it seems as if the dead rise from the grave. Upon further investigation, Tetsuo finds out that the village has been having strange happenings ever since the old temple became overrun with demons. When he returns to the village after talking to the old guardian of the Temple, the village has been attacked, supposedly, as one of the dying villagers says, by "...ravens..." Also, it seems as if all the children have vanished as well.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7]
