| GINSHA will be released on the 24th of August | 2023-08-16 | Dear Visitor, Welcome to the GINSHA Community Hub on Steam! I'm Adrian, the developer of GINSHA, and I'm excited to announce that GINSHA will be released on Steam for Windows & PC and Nintendo Switch on the 24th of August. GINSHA is a solo project and after more than 2 years of full-time development, I can't wait to hear your feedback. Feel free to ask questions, give feedback or suggest features here in this thread. My goal was to create a totally unique gaming experience while bringing back that good feeling of getting lost while being intrigued by what comes next that most of us had while playing the first Metroid or Castlevania games.
