Brazilian Studio Lobo Sagaz Releases Japanese-Style Action Game GUREI
Astrolabe Games released the hand-drawn Japanese-style action game "GUREI" on July 23, 2026, for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Brazilian studio Lobo Sagaz, the game is modeled after chambara (samurai film) aesthetics. Players control a samurai spirit named Rei who wanders the spirit world and challenges nature gods in a boss rush format. Combat involves multi-directional sword attacks, steps, wall jumps, and enemy jumps, with players able to combine and upgrade basic skills. Defeating gods grants the player access to their powers, but subsequent battles become more difficult, creating a strategic choice in the order of encounters. The visual style uses monochrome hand-drawn animation, with color reserved for the gods' powers to highlight them. The game includes multiple endings and sub-missions. The price is 2,499 yen (tax included) and the game supports Japanese language.
