Critically acclaimed title Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery is heading to Japan. According to the official press release, the music-influenced adventure game will be out on June 21 for iOS, PC, and Mac.
Japanese localization is being handled by 8-4 in Shibuya, Tokyo. A remixed version of the game's soundtrack will also be launched alongside the game. The album will contain exclusive tracks from Michiru Yamane (Castlevania series), Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series), Baiyon, Mitsuto Suzuki (FF XIII-2), macotom3, and Decassegui Hip.

wonder how the Japanese would respond to this game.
Japanese can't play PC, this is useless.
