Ikki Unite: SUNSOFT’s “Bad Game” Gets a Hilariously Cooperative Makeover

SUNSOFT’s infamous “bad game,” *Ikki*, is back – and this time, it’s bringing 15 friends! The March 24th update for *Ikki Unite* plunges players into the “Back Side,” a new area accessible after completing a specific mission while battling the Evil Magistrate. Getting there requires obtaining Masami’s Mirror, found through various means: boss drops, hermit quests, hot zones, or even the in-game store.

Forget lone-wolf rebellions. *Ikki Unite* is pure, chaotic online co-op for up to 16 players. The simple arrow-key controls belie surprisingly satisfying action as you and your comrades mow down enemy hordes. Choose from a diverse cast of characters – each with unique strengths (offense, exploration, support) – and work together to conquer the roguelike levels.

The game’s charm lies in its delightfully casual approach to online multiplayer. Feeling awkward coordinating with strangers? Use the emote button to communicate and keep track of your team. The core gameplay loop involves defeating area bosses, upgrading your character at the in-game shop, and ultimately facing the Evil Magistrate. The roguelike elements ensure replayability, with each run offering a fresh challenge.

*Ikki Unite* cleverly blends the original game’s rebellious spirit with modern cooperative gameplay. It’s a testament to SUNSOFT’s commitment to its retro roots while embracing a new generation of players. This isn’t just a revival; it’s a riotous, collaborative reimagining of a classic – and it’s definitely worth checking out.
