BANSHEE: Demon Girl is a single-player third-person soulsborne stealth-action game. The first Japanese kunoichi in 16th-c. Europe in an extraordinary tale of revenge from beyond the grave. Swing a katana, move like a ninja, seduce like a geisha, and unleash vampiric powers. Learn from your mistakes.
Set in the late 1500s during Japan’s Sengoku period, BANSHEE follows a female shinobi-samurai (kunoichi) on a covert mission. She arrives in Europe with the first Japanese Embassy. Betrayed and gruesomely killed, she rises as a powerful demon akin to European banshees, vampyrs or strigas.
She tries to restore the karmic order by taking revenge on her murderers - but this isn’t enough. As a demoness she realizes she needs to help free other restless spirits. There is no escape for her from the foreign world - not even in death. It always ends with her immortal soul returning to her mortal body. Will you find a way to change her destiny?
As the player, you will devour or banish restless souls to grow in strength, uncover secrets, and navigate the shadows. Swing Japanese blades and parry death blows flawlessly. Sow fear in Renaissance European towns and castles. Be a stealthy shinobi - and devil incarnate - in a lovely human form.
The Dance of Death system integrates cutting-edge Quartz and Harmonix technology within Unreal Engine 5, synchronizing combat with music in real-time. Enemy AI and animations move to the rhythm of the music, making combat both cinematic and deeply interactive. Custom enemy themes help players learn attack patterns — light, heavy, and combos — purely by following the music, allowing them to defeat enemies even with their eyes closed
Taking it further, Dance of Death features bi-directional synchronization. As the gameplay and enemy actions are synced to the music, the music dynamically adapts to the player’s actions. Musical themes and leitmotifs do battle in the score, echoing the action on screen. As players parry, block, and strike, they’re not just fighting — they’re an active part of the composition.
A stunning tale of revenge from beyond the grave. Take on the role of an angry immortal woman vying for revenge. Gradually discover how the past affects the future. Enjoy great storytelling in a rich folklore-inspired world.
The death of the body is not the end - it is the beginning of a new journey. You must maintain balance and harmony between the dark and light sides of vital energy forces. Falling into extremes may have unpredictable effects. After all, the European world is completely alien to you - not only its human part but the supernatural as well.
A mix of a seductive kunoichi vampire against rapiers, muskets and crimes of faith. Imagine a shinobi sneaking into a European castle! At first, as a stranger, you don't understand anything. It all feels eldritch and mysterious. But over time you will start to notice similarities, not only cultural differences. And the mature soulsborne-style theme of life eviscerated by death will be spiced with funny and cute (“kawaii”) humor known from "shonen manga".
Amazing enemy and level designs with epic boss fights in beautiful hand-crafted environments that can almost guarantee a broken controller. It’s insanely challenging but fair and rewarding. You learn from your mistakes as you try out the katana, seduction, stealth or demonic powers. All the while your eyes feast on beautiful graphics and next-gen animations.
