About Karous
Karous is a vertical shoot ’em up set on another Earth in another universe. Karous, orphaned by a war between sky dwellers and humans, descends to Earth guided by her father’s dying words, searching for the Sanguis Dei.
Fight and grow
You attack with Shot, Sword and Shield, each of which grows more powerful the more you use it. Mix and match them as you progress through the stages. Against enemy bullet barrages, you can dodge, use a special attack that grants invincibility, reflect bullets with Shield, or erase them with Shot or Sword.
Choose a difficulty
Easy mode is designed to be accessible to newcomers, while normal mode offers a moderate challenge. Hard mode is aimed at players seeking to master the game.
Visuals and music
The remaster features high-definition graphics for modern displays. You can switch between the original music and a remixed soundtrack by Shinji Hosoe and Ayako Saso of SuperSweep, alongside original composer Daisuke Nagata of RS34. The soundtrack features drum ’n’ bass and breakbeats.
