About Mamorukun ReCurse!
Mamorukun ReCurse! drops players into a mysterious Netherworld where a shrine maiden has summoned chosen souls to halt a looming Dark World gate. The story follows Mamorukun and companions as they purify cursed residents while battling the spreading curse. The game blends fast‑paced shooting with a unique curse mechanic: firing small or large curse bullets, gaining temporary power boosts, and managing the risk of being cursed yourself. All previous arcade, story, and action modes return, now with widescreen support and extra gallery features.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story Setup
The narrative begins with Mamorukun narrowly avoiding a car before awakening in the Netherworld. Shrine maiden Jigokudani Fururu explains that a gate to the Dark World is being opened, cursing the realm's residents. Players must purify these cursed inhabitants and stop the gate’s opening, allowing the summoned characters to return to their original world.
- Observe the shrine maiden’s dialogue for clues about the gate’s location.
- Take note of which enemies are cursed, as they provide extra score items when defeated.

Curse Mechanics
A quick tap fires a small curse bullet that lands directly ahead, creating a field that curses both enemies and the player. Holding the button charges a large curse bullet that travels farther, erases enemy bullets, and grants brief invincibility. While cursed, a player’s power and speed increase, but they cannot fire curse bullets until the curse ends, after which power drops.
- Use the large curse bullet to clear dense enemy fire before entering a cursed field.
- Balance the temporary power boost against the loss of shooting ability while cursed.
