{"product_id":"gurei-playstation-5-pre-order","title":"Gurei - Playstation 5 (PRE-ORDER)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 29, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGurei is an unforgiving samurai action game. Drawing from classic Japanese\u003cbr\u003esamurai cinema, Gurei pairs hand-drawn art and fluid animation with a punishing,\u003cbr\u003echoice-driven combat system. Players take the role of Rei, a human spirit bound to\u003cbr\u003ehunt the Kami — ancient entities of nature drawn from Japanese mythology — in\u003cbr\u003eany order they choose, with every victory unlocking a new ability and pulling Rei\u003cbr\u003edeeper into the fracture between the human and spirit realms. Rei, the main\u003cbr\u003echaracter, is a human spirit bound with the challenging duty of defeating mystical\u003cbr\u003eentities of nature, the Kami, to obtain their power. The game won’t hold the\u003cbr\u003eplayer’s hand, leaving it up to them to discover and conquer this fantastic handdrawn world that is gray, both metaphorically and literally.\u003cbr\u003e• You are free to pick your fights against the Kami in any order. The game features\u003cbr\u003ea dynamic difficulty system where each enemy strength is defined by the player’s\u003cbr\u003echosen path. This means that the very same Kami fought at the very beginning\u003cbr\u003ecould also be the final boss in a different route. Hope to never leave the one you\u003cbr\u003estruggle most to fight last!\u003cbr\u003e• Besides sword attacks, dodges, head stomps and other basic abilities, Rei will\u003cbr\u003elearn a completely new skill for each defeated Kami. Those will provide further\u003cbr\u003edepth to your combat arsenal, be it a stronger dash, a weapon that can execute\u003cbr\u003eenemies, the ability to heal and many more!\u003cbr\u003e• Player choice is the ultimate power. Taking into account the vastly distinct\u003cbr\u003eenemies’ patterns and unique skills granted upon each victory, you will be able to\u003cbr\u003edecide how to approach every challenge. It won’t be easy either way, but you can\u003cbr\u003ealways go back and try something different.\u003cbr\u003e• Gurei is a game about fighting strong enemies, but that’s not all. The Kami\u003cbr\u003einhabit a surreal castle located between the human and spirit worlds. After each\u003cbr\u003evictory, Rei comes closer to the realm of spirits, starting to encounter peculiar\u003cbr\u003echaracters from Japanese mythology. These creatures will add novelty and\u003cbr\u003estrangeness to your journey, providing commentary, unique animations, side\u003cbr\u003eobjectives and obscure secrets.\u003cbr\u003e• You will get to know the different Kami quite well. When Rei defeats them, she\u003cbr\u003eabsorbs their power and their personality. The defeated Kami will be carried\u003cbr\u003earound wherever Rei goes, and they’ll surely have stuff to talk about. Sometimes\u003cbr\u003etheir remarks will be useful information that builds the player’s understanding of\u003cbr\u003ethe lore and the game mechanics, but sometimes they will be... not so helpful, to\u003cbr\u003eput it briefly. Good luck!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astrolabe Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49212546416897,"sku":"VGP0025789","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/5868\/4333\/files\/Gurei_PS5_TFrontCover.jpg?v=1780073170","url":"https:\/\/videogamesplus.ca\/products\/gurei-playstation-5-pre-order","provider":"VIDEOGAMESPLUS.CA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
