  • Possession-based high speed action: Being devoid of physical form, Hyoki can slip through barriers and take possession of specific individuals as needed to infiltrate dangerous areas and organizations. By rapidly switching hosts, he can also traverse the city at high speed.
  • Thrilling combat using the power of blood: Hyoki can turn his host’s blood into weapons to confront the ferocious Slitterheads and can even switch hosts when wounded to continue the fight. By possessing "Rarities", specific humans who share high sync with Hyoki, he is able to unleash even more powerful attacks and activate unique abilities.
  • An original new offering from two industry titans: Keiichiro Toyama once again redefines traditional genres to bring a new kind of game experience, while composer Akira Yamaoka creates yet another memorable soundtrack to complement the tense and high-energy streets of Kowlong.
