## Description
The black-clad Kurohime was once a powerful, beautiful “magic gunner”,
wielding the greatest ability and power in the world…but she tried to defy
the gods with this power, and ended up cursed with the weak, useless body of a
child. Today, she roams the land, looking for a way to break her curse. After
a run-in with a gang of bandits led by a man named Onimaru, she makes a narrow
escape and runs into a mysterious fairy named Renfa, who agrees to break the
curse in exchange for helping her.
_Mah ō Tsukai Kurohime_ (Magic Gunner Kurohime) is a third-person action
shooter based on the manga by Masanori Katakura. The story takes place shortly
before the first arc in the manga, and follows Kurohime as she helps Renfa.
The game is an arena-based shooter similar to Virtual On or Armored Core; each
fight generally has Kurohime facing a group of smaller enemies, then a much
more substantial boss enemy. She has access to both normal bullets and several
of the powerful _mah ōdan_ “magic bullets” she uses in the manga, but her
magic meter must recharge after they’re used. There is also a free mode, where
you can play a match against the computer using many different characters,
including familiar faces like Zero, Asura, and Onimaru.
