This time around we get to see new battle gameplay, and it’s the first time that we get to see Hatsuho Shinonome in action. 

Her crimson Mugen-type mecha uses a giant hammer, and we get to see her powerful fire-based attacks, including her special move  Shinonome Jinja no Kagura Hammer, which can pretty much devastate everything around her.

We even get to see a battle against a rather large boss at the end, and how the game scores you after a mission. 

On top of that, we learn that we’ll soon be able to play the game at home. A demo will be released on the Japanese PlayStation Store on November 21. It’ll include both the adventure and battle portions of the game. 

One thing is for sure: this game looks more awesome every time I see it. You can check out the video below and see for yourself.
