As someone who was a fan of the old side-scrolling Shinobi and Strider games during the 16-bit era, The Devil Within: Satgat immediately caught my interest for its hack and slash combat that veers towards the spectacle. Developed on Unreal Engine 4 by a small studio in Korea, the game is already getting high praise amongst indie gaming fans for its slick animation, and is best described as a 2.5D action adventure with Metroidvania elements where you assume the role of Satgat - a seasoned warrior who travels across a world that's been overrun by evil sprits.
I spoke to Manjae Lee (CEO and Director) and Chanwoo Cho (Business Director) of Newcore Games about their forthcoming The Devil Within: Satgat game, and also got to ask them about their indie studio. Enjoy!

Mr. Lee, as the CEO and the Director of Newcore Games, what difficulties have you had in marketing your games to international audiences in Europe and America?
Manjae Lee: [Laughs] I have a real concern about how Western audiences will perceive the game, because we are adapting some Korean cultural elements to the game. So I have some concerns because we don't fully understand the European or American culture.
