Game Boy Color / Metroidvania / Action Adventure
黒火 KUROHI
Enter the world of KUROHI — a brand-new adventure built from the ground up for the Game Boy Color, blending tight platforming, overhead exploration, and arcade-style shooter action into one seamless, mysterious world.
Why KUROHI Was Created
A cohesive Game Boy Color adventure built from classic inspirations
Drawing inspiration from The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, and Gradius, KUROHI was created to bring multiple gameplay styles together into one immersive experience. The goal was to make that variety feel natural, connected, and meaningful within a single world rather than disconnected modes.
