It\u2019s the newest title in the Metroidvania-style 2D action game series <em>Momodora<\/em>. The game is being developed by Bombservice and will support English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>* Disclosure: The publisher PLAYISM is part of Active Gaming Media, which is also the owner of this website.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Momodora: Moonlit Farewell Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bE5q1IFclpA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The story of the previous title, <em>Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight<\/em>, was set before the events of the first game. This time around, it will take place five years after the events of <em>Momodora III<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The village of Koho is threatened by demons lured by the sound of the ominous tolling of a bell. The village chief sends Momo Reinol, the most powerful priestess in the village, to investigate the situation. Momo must find the cause of the bell tolls and protect the village, along with the sacred Lun Trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Momo will journey through and explore a fantastical world filled with diverse biomes. Judging from the mini-map shown in the upper right corner of the screen, it seems like maps are quite intricate. You&#8217;ll face a variety of enemies, and Momo will fight them using her leaf weapon and a bow, just like in previous titles. She can dash through enemies as well.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"358\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001-600x168.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001-380x106.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001-768x215.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001-150x42.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001-696x195.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-001-1068x299.jpg 1068w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"358\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002-600x168.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002-380x106.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002-768x215.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002-150x42.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002-696x195.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220121-189520-002-1068x299.jpg 1068w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This game features a system called Sigil, which allows you to customize your play style.
