[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ot enough cute anime girls in your rhythm games? Flyhigh Works has the solution for that! Inside Systems and Esquadra are working on a game called “Dark Witch Music Episode: Rudymical.” This title, published by the same company that gave us KAMIKO and VOEZ, will see players controlling cute little witches in order to fight against other cute little witches. You fight by rhythmically blocking attacks that come at you in order to survive.

Now, the trailer is entirely in Japanese, so we can’t read everything. However, from what we can read in the description, it’ll likely release on the Japanese eShop on May 11th. It may be selling for a price of 800 yen, which would be comparable to about $5 or $6 in the US. This seems reasonable, considering the mobile version only costs about $3 on the apple store.

Dark Witch’s Enhanced Features

While this is another port of a mobile title, like VOEZ, it seems to have some advanced features in the Switch version. For one, the different colored balls are now set to dedicated buttons instead of all being handled the same way. This version also includes a battle mode where you can challenge a friend to see who does better.

All the usual rhythm game standards hold true, as you’d expect. As of this point in time, there is no word on whether or not this game will be coming to the US eShop. However, Flyhigh Studios has a running trend of releasing games in Japan shortly before going global. So Dark Witch Music seems very likely to leave Japan, and if it does we’ll be sure to cover it here. Check back for more info at a later date!

For now, if this game interests you, then you can get it on the Japanese eShop in two days! Check this link for an explanation of how to get there from outside of Japan. We’ve included the trailer below, in case you’d like to see more.
