Homura Hime

Homura Hime is an action game where you control Homura, who can use a set of weapons.^[1] Her combat ability is composed of basic attacks and parry. The parry can be combined with four different moves.^[2] A various set of combos can be executed with these moves by mixing up light and heavy attacks, such as juggling an opponent in the air or her sword flying around to attack enemies on its own. Homura can also use skills that do extra damage and have beneficial effects, but they are on a cooldown.^[1] Attacking enemies continuously builds up a hit metter that increases the player score.^[3] Additional moves are unlockable through currency earned in the game.^[1]

Each level contains a different archdemon that must be defeated.^[1] The game contains bullet hell elements.^[3]

Homura Hime was developed by Crimson Dusk, a small-scale development team based in Taiwan.^[4] The game started as a solo project by Sam, but as the project started to gain traction online, Crimson Dusk was established to expand the scale of development.^[5] The developer strove to introduce elements that could differentiate Homura Hime from other action games, and eventually settled on adding parry mechanics and bullet hell gameplay.^[4]
