Gameplay
[edit]Scar-Lead Salvation is a third-person shooter with bullet hell elements.[1] The player controls Willow Martin, an amnesiac soldier who must escape from an unfamiliar place resided in by hostile mechanical beings.[2] The levels are procedurally generated.[1] When Willow is killed, she loses all of her equipments and must start over from the beginning.[2]
Development and Release
[edit]Scar-Lead Salvation was produced by Hiroshi Aoki, who had worked on Rune Factory 5, Rune Factory 4 Special, and Taito video games like Dariusburst, Kaiser Knuckle, and Psychic Force.[1][3] In an interview with Famitsu, the game was recognized as an uncommon title for Compile Heart – being a third-person shooter, a serious sci-fi plot, and a high difficulty – to which Aoki replied he saw it as a new wave for the developer.[4] The two main characters, Willow Martin and AI, were voiced by Fairouz Ai and Junichi Suwabe.[2]
The game was first teased through the official website that went online on January 29, 2025;[3][5] it was fully revealed on January 30 as a part of Compile Heart's 2025 lineup trailer.[6][7] In Japan, the PlayStation 5 version will be published both physically and digitally, while the PlayStation 4 and PC versions will be digital-only. The publisher Compile Heart announced Special Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition that include additional materials.[2] For the international release, the game is published by Idea Factory International, which plans to release only the PC version.[8] The game will be released on May 29, 2025.[4][8]
