Global publisher HIKE (CEO: Masataka Mikami) is releasing a collaboration DLC for ‘Rona,’ the main character of ‘The Lord of the Parties’ and ‘METALLIC CHILD,’ which the company is publishing. It was announced that it would be released on Steam’s global PC game platform on the 14th.
Lord of Party is a 2D vertical scrolling party shooting RPG released on Steam in 2022. It is a game in which you form a party of up to 10 people with unique colleagues to defeat enemies. You can feel a refreshing sense of action with simple controls, and the fun of the game is that it varies depending on the joining order and combat abilities of party members.
This DLC is a collaboration with the character ‘Rona’ from the famous indie game ‘Metallic Child’ created by STUDIO HG. Metallic Child is a rogue-lite action game released on Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2021. It won the Excellence Award at the ‘2021 Korea Game Awards with high sales and positive reviews, which are rare for an indie game developed by one person.
In this DLC for Lord of the Party, Metallic Child’s android ‘Rona,’ the main character, joins the war as a reliable companion. Rona demonstrates the leading techniques and special moves used in Metallic Child. You can use three powerful weapons: the nimble strike ‘Fist’, the wide slash ‘Sword’, and the powerful ‘Hammer’. In particular, if you equip high-grade equipment, you can repeatedly use the spectacular special move ‘Takedown,’ which can blow away all enemies simultaneously.
Hike Korea branch manager Lee Jeong-hoon said, “Lord of Party is a shooting RPG featuring easy operation, cute graphics, story, moderate difficulty, and even addictive game,” adding, “A unique game with Metallic Child’s Rona, who joins through this collaboration DLC, “I hope you can feel the pleasure of battle,” he said.
