Umihara Kawase Fresh! goes Metroidvania for its new installment

Ahead of its reveal at TGS 2018, we have some details on Umihara Kawase Fresh!. Looks like things will be changed up considerably this time around!

- Studio Saizensen is still working on the game
- Toshinobu Kondo is still handling character design,
- the "rubber engine" from the previous titles is being used
- no longer uses a traditional stage structure, and instead opts for an interconnected metroidvania-style map
- will include a quest system
- less skilled players can take the regular routes, while 'hardcore' players can take shortcuts meant for speedrunning
