SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble

SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble is a belt-scrolling/hack-and-slash action game based on the movie “Shin Kamen Rider,” which will be released in March 2023.

This title will also be available as an early purchase/pre-order bonus for the packaged version and as a bonus for the downloadable version with the “Can Badge,” a reinforced item equipment that can be used in the game.

The main character, Takeru Hongo, continues to challenge himself no matter how many times he falls in order to protect human dignity.

The movie “Shin Kamen Rider” is now available as an action game that combines hack-and-slash and belt-scroll action. While the fierce battles between the Masked Rider and the SHOCKER remain unchanged, you can enjoy the friendly SD visuals, the deep reinforcement system with various power-ups, and the exhilarating Masked Rider-like action as you slay dozens of members at a time.

Will you be able to protect human dignity with the Masked Rider, who keeps getting back up no matter how many times he falls? Please enjoy SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble with its nostalgic expression.
