As for the hacking and slashing of those bosses—and everything between them—Konami say that you’ll use a variety of weapon types with special moves. There’s also a crafting component that lets you unlock additional weapons abilities across runs.
As for its early access time, the developers say they’re expecting it to last up to a year. “For the full launch version, we will add several stages, weapons and playable characters,” they say. “Also, there will be adjustments made to the game balance as well as other optimizations patches. Users who participate in the Early Access will get a digital art book, original mini soundtrack and Famicom version of “GetsuFumaDen” as bonuses.”
The developers have outlined a schedule for some of their updates over on theirroadmap website. They’re currently planning their first update for June to add another playable character Getsu Renge.
