I played this title on the Xbox 360 when I was younger and I had a great time playing it, I thought the whole "Ninja/Plague" thing worked really well and nobody's really heard of this title to be honest, it's pretty underrated in my opinion and deserves more recognition and a well-earned place on GOG definitely.

I played it back in the day on my X360, it was fun. The three pretty distinct weapons, the customisation of the main character's outfit. And the solid over-the-top combat. Definitely an underrated title. And the least known FromSoftware title.
Loved this as a kid. That intro still pop up in my mind from time to time but i could never remember the name. Such a fun game with nice aesthetics
Speculation about why the PC version was pulled from Steam tends to point to performance/compatibility problems. Maybe GOG could help with at least the latter.

The Rage
The RageThe Rage is one of the very few examples of 3D scrolling beat’em up for PC; it guarantees a great playability, never forgotten by old style arcade players, together with the new stunning graphics, thanks to modern PC hardware, and really strong musics. It allows to fight with up to four players, using the same PC or Internet and LAN connections, in real brawls against a great number of enemies with a wide range of easy-to-do moves.

Anett's magical powers are triggered by spending an energy bar that is constantly refilling, depending on the amount of power available you'll cause more damage all the way up to a screen-clearing attack. It is the third in a trilogy of games, which includes El Viento, Earnest Evans and Anett Futatabi
