FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 14, 2022
Japan-based indie studio Kanipro revealed the Steam page for their upcoming action platformer Violet Wisteria on July 14th, with a projected release date of early 2023. Step back in time to the year 1991 as you take control of human-turned-goddess Wisteria Asagiri and slash your way through 8 stages of sheer skill.
“Our goal with Violet Wisteria was to revive the magic of the golden era of Japanese gaming.” - Chris Stark, Kanipro director.

Violet Wisteria differentiates itself from the countless other games in the genre by introducing the tri-color attack system. Taking a cue from classics like Silhouette Mirage and Ikaruga, the protagonist can use three different sword slashes with their own color attributes, which must be used correctly against enemies of the same three color palette swaps. Think rock-scissors-paper, but with colors instead of symbols. Mastering the color rules is key to overcoming the myriad obstacles and action gimmicks presented in each level, as well as the intricate boss fights.
Key features include:
- Unprecedented tri-color attack system, demanding both reflexes and critical thinking
- Pixel art and chiptunes reminiscent of the 16 bit era of gaming
- Selectable difficulty levels
- Unlockable modes and secrets
