Announced back in January, SumiKen is a stylistic runner/slasher which has really grown over these past months. Inspired by the developer's memories of Okami and Onimusha, its new trailer certainly shows off the game's qualities. It's also nice to see that the use of sumi-e painting is more than just a gimmick, and actually adds to the experience.

Easy to learn, but hard to master - don't be deceived by the simplistic controls. With 150 missions, seven characters, and their unique ink-mode abilities to battle with, the game's certainly shaping up to be rather promising.

SumiKen will arrive on the App Store on May 11th for £1.99/$1.99.
