Kuroinu Redux Out Today on Steam and Johren
TOKYO, JAPAN – May 19, 2023.
Shiravune is proud to announce the release of a new international version of Liquid's Kuroinu Redux (Japanese title: Kuroinu Kai) today, May 19, 2023, on the Steam and Johren platforms.
First released in 2010 before seeing numerous media adaptations, Kuroinu has become renowned for its brutal and captivating storyline. This tale of despair and devastation on an epic scale, set in the high-fantasy world of Eos, follows the adventures of Vult and his rabid band of Black Dog Mercenaries as they seek to drown Eos's ruling beauties in a sea of humiliation!
Kuroinu Redux's new features compared to the original 2010 release include additional story content, quality-of-life improvements to the in-game user interface, and a graphical overhaul from the original 800x600 resolution to 1024x768.
The game is now available on Steam and Johren in English and Chinese.

INTRO
Eos, the western plains of the continent of Serenus—
With the dark-elven queen's influence finally waning, the centuries-long war between the allied races and her demon army seems to be entering its final phase...
Desperate to end the bloodshed once and for all, the Seven Shields Alliance—seven strongholds along Eos's northernmost border united by an elven reincarnation of the Goddess Larentia—seek out the assistance of the protagonist Vult and his Black Dog Mercenaries.
However, the young Vult wastes no time in betraying them, moving his headquarters to the realm of the dark elf Queen Olga herself!
Shock, panic, indignation, then grief... Eos's inhabitants cannot believe their fate at the hands of this treacherous “hero” as he leads his minions into their towns and villages, and even the lands of former friends and allies.
To add insult to injury, Vult newly establishes Olga's fallen kingdom as a Service Nation: where the defeated must perform untold “services” for the countless hordes pouring into their country. The Seven Shields Alliance soon discover firsthand that Volt's declaration is neither lie nor exaggeration...
A tale of despair and devastation on an epic scale, set in a high-fantasy world! Drown the noble beauties of Eos in a sea of humiliation!
CHARACTERS
Supreme Dark-Elven Matriarch
Olga Dischordia
Voice: Tokio Aoi
“This... is a holy site... You cannot enter it...”
The dark-elf queen of a fallen kingdom, with long black hair and a perpetual, almost melancholic expression.
Pure dark elves are extremely rare, rarer even than high elves. She considers dark elves to be a noble race far and above other races.
As a witch, she possesses the unique ability to increase the physical prowess of monsters several times over—and is the cause of hundreds of years of war and atrocities.
Faithful Royal Retainer
Chloe
Voice: Tori King
“I will serve my queen until my body wastes away...”
Young knightess and loyal attendant to Olga, having sworn lifelong allegiance to her queen.
She is half dark elf, half mortal, but despises all men because of the terrible treatment she suffered at human hands from birth until Olga took her in.
Exceedingly straight-laced, but adept at certain physical activities due to the training visited upon her during her time with humans.
Proud Princess Knight
Alicia Arcturus
Voice: Ichigo Momoi
“This is absurd... This is treachery... I will not forgive that man...!”
The beautiful sole daughter of the Arcturus family, a prestigious noble family in Eos.
As commander of the Knights of St. Iris—the main military unit at Fortress One—she is highly respected and admired by her subordinates.
Her skills are a credit to her own perseverance and not a reflection of her bloodline. Minister Beardsley is plotting against her somehow, though she remains oblivious.
Shy and Sheltered Princess
Prim Fiorire
Voice: Momoka Sakura
“Thinking about my sister, I feel like I can do my best... Well, at least... try to not cry...”
Fortress Two royalty extolled as the Moon-Flower Princess, loved by her people for her delicate looks and kind heart. This can inspire a protective instinct in some, but extreme cruelty in others... She looks up to her cousin Alicia and hopes to someday grow as strong as her.
Feels uncomfortable in the presence of the Mortadella Brothers, pigmen merchants who tend to lack tact...
Mysterious Eastern Priestess
Kaguya
Voice: Mariya Kurata
“Our task... is to behave as the gods desire...”
The leader of Fortress Three, she is the chief of a group of priestesses who worship strange gods.
Always quiet, with a vague air that makes it difficult to read her mind. While attentive to her subordinates, she is essentially uninterested in anything other than the gods she serves.
She is now being targeted by an Evocator, who was once a member of her group but has fallen off the righteous path, and is now set on subjecting her to an experiment to create a god to surpass all gods...
Loudmouthed Halfling Leader
Luu Luu
Voice: Ringo Aoba
“All I gotta do is kick their sorry asses. I'm obviously going to freaking win. I'll plant my axe in that clueless numbskull, and he should die, yeah?”
Although small in stature, this halfling possesses impressive strength—and can swing a great axe as tall as she is.
As the head of her tribe, she protects Fortress Five. However, her cocky, foul-mouthed personality can get the best of her, leading to tantrums, tears, and much sulking and pouting...
Free-Spirited “Big Sister” Mercenary
Maia
Voice: Nao Hamura
“Huh? The Service Nation? Bwah... What's that?! W ho made up this crap? If they're going to say such nonsense, it could be a bit more believable.”
A mercenary who wanders the land, pledging fealty to no group or master. She is highly skilled with a wealth of experience, and many a Black Dog admires and daydreams about her.
She has a caring, older sister-like personality, but is rather callous towards potential suitors.
Childless Ex-Captain of the Holy Knights
Claudia Levantine
Voice: Mei Misonoo
“Please be at ease. All the armies of the Seven Shields Alliance will fight together and crush our foe.”
Leader of a knighthood that defends Fortress Six and Fortress Seven, she also serves as the high elf Celestine's personal bodyguard.
A moral woman married to a civilian named Klaus, when it comes to battle, she is as formidable as a war god.
Though happily married, she has yet to bear a child.
Revered High-Elf Goddess Incarnate
Celestine Lucross
Voice: Naru Udaka
“I have faith in everybody... I pray for us... And I will continue to watch until the very end...”
A high elf revered as the reincarnation of the Goddess Larentia, who is widely worshiped by the people of Eos.
She is adored, respected, and loved by all of the people of the Seven Shield Alliance, but in that same vein, she is abhorred by all demons.
Her flawless skin and beauty are known far and wide.
