Bittersweet Birthday Drops in Q2 2025 for PC and Consoles
Yo, gamers! Mark your calendars for Q2 of 2025 because DANGEN Entertainment is dropping Bittersweet Birthday on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series platforms. They just revealed a killer trailer at Guerrilla Collective and the Latin America Games Showcase 2024, so get hyped!
The Gameplay Vibe
Bittersweet Birthday isn’t your average action RPG. Every fight is a wild ride where you need to outsmart enemies by learning their patterns and dodging their relentless attacks. Think Soulslike dodge rolls mixed with bullet hell chaos. You’ll be throwing punch combos, blocking, parrying, and unleashing powerful cancel attacks to bring down a roster of quirky and progressively tougher foes in multi-phase showdowns.
When you’re not in the heat of battle, you’ll be piecing together the protagonist’s past through exploration and interacting with a vibrant cast of characters. Side quests and secret items unlock Memories that tweak your combat style. Need a break? Hit up mini games like darts and Gachapon for some chill time.
Bittersweet Birthday Story
You wake up…dazed and memory-less. A mysterious voice crackles through the speakers offering you a way out. But there’s a catch: unstable individuals are hunting you, and escape means listening to that voice. Amidst trauma and fragmented memories, you must gather your past’s pieces and gear up. After all, there’s a birthday party you can’t miss.
