Rakshasa

About

Rakshasa casts you as Jangi, a warrior determined to avenge his village's destruction by demons. This action-platformer mixes fast-paced combat with strategic platforming challenges, as you navigate treacherous environments and battle relentless foes. Developed by Mossmouth, the studio behind Night in the Week of Crows, it delivers tight mechanics and a focused single-player experience. Set for PC and Nintendo Switch in September 2024, the game leans into top-down shooter gameplay with a strong emphasis on timing and precision. What sets Rakshasa apart is its ability to balance intensity with accessibility. The demons you face aren't just obstacles, they're part of a shifting landscape filled with hazards and ambush points. Mossmouth's attention to detail in enemy behavior and level design keeps each run fresh, even as you master the core loop. With a runtime that leans shorter but impactful, it's a title that prioritizes polish over longevity. The studio's track record suggests this will appeal to players who value responsive controls and creative pacing.
