SONOKUNI | Patch notes for 1.0.2

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone,

Before we get into the details of this 1.0.2 patch for SONOKUNI, we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has picked up the game and especially to those who have left such awesome feedback. It's been just over a week since launch and we've been blown away by the positive responses (and head bopping emojis).

All that said, if you do have any additional feedback to share, or if you do run into any issues at all, please do feel free to share them with us, either by responding to this post, or by heading to the Steam Discussions board. We are reading everything and every little bit of feedback, no matter how small, helps us improve the game!

Speaking of help, if you haven't already, please do consider leaving SONOKUNI a review on Steam. Getting reviews early doors makes a big difference for plucky hip hop indie games.

Read on for the patch notes!

Many thanks,

Kakehashi Games
