Haneda Woman is a furiously retro breach-and-clear murderbox starring one lady and her mecha



The tastiest factor you may at present do in Haneda Woman is eject your self out of your mech straight right into a streaking katana blow that carries you although a door and two torsos earlier than teleport-summoning your mech as if inflating a lifejacket to gun down three different mooks in a giddy gout of purple gore. OK, that’s a couple of factor. It’s, based on native consultants, a combo. What are combos good for? Rating multipliers, that’s what. Here’s a trailer. Ware the techno.

On this action-platform stealth me-do from Studio Koba, you’re a juvenile coin-op junkie who has been piped Tron-style into an arcade sport to “save Information Empire from the horrifying (and intense) Hackernauts.” Every degree is a tidy 2D breach-and-clear puzzlebox in which you’ll be able to stomp round in your M.O.T.H.E.R mecha, or platform on foot like a sucker. Whereas contained in the mecha you’ve gotten Gatling weapons and shields, however you’re too hefty to suit via doorways. Whereas on foot, in the meantime, you may run up partitions and backstab folks, however you may as well be slain in a single hit.


Luckily, Haneda Woman can teleport-summon the mecha with out penalty, so there’s no have to decide to both type, save for while you’re constrained by an impediment similar to an inconsiderately human-sized passage or a katana-proof fractured floor. The Steam blurb has some useful, barely insulting recommendation: “I’m fearful and conservative = use M.O.T.H.E.R”; “Some days I get the nerve = Swap between M.O.T.H.E.R and Haneda”; “I’m very ahead = Haneda Woman (no doubts)”.


To place all that one other means, you’ll “transfer like in Celeste”, “destroy like in Bro Power”, “slash like in Katana Zero”, and “die like in Hotline Miami”. Woah, avoid wasting touchstones for the remainder of us, Studio Koba! There’s sporting your influences in your sleeve, after which there’s bulletpointing them as verbs.


Fortunately, Haneda Woman has a couple of contemporary concepts of its personal. The twin character setup harbours a nifty symbiotic resourcing ingredient. When Haneda Woman ejects from the cockpit, the mecha’s shields are restored; when she summons the mecha, it additionally replenishes her superdash assaults. So the extra you turn, the extra succesful you’ll be, and the extra you’ll really feel like weaving the mech and pilot parts right into a gratifying techno pretzel.

Given some appropriately devious degree design, I feel these fundamentals may actually sing. There’s a demo on Steam. The complete sport releases on twenty third Might.
