Kazuma Kaneko, the iconic designer known for his work on Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Devil Summoner, is set to captivate gamers once again with his latest project, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter. Developed by COLOPL, this roguelike deck-building game is slated for release on PC, iOS, and Android, promising a blend of Kaneko's signature dark, mythological aesthetic with strategic card-based combat.
Set in a futuristic Tokyo Bay, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter unfolds within The Hashira, a towering high-rise transformed into a sealed-off battleground. This eerie structure is now home to gods and demons, and an elite national defense force, Tsukuyomi, has been tasked with reaching the top floor to eliminate a formidable target. Fans of Kaneko's previous works will recognize the game's setting, which masterfully intertwines urban decay with supernatural horror, creating a tense and atmospheric experience. The fusion of mythology and cyberpunk themes is sure to immerse players when the game launches later this year.
As a roguelike card game, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter challenges players to construct a deck of powerful abilities while navigating an ever-changing dungeon. Each run offers unique cards, layouts, and enemy encounters, ensuring no two playthroughs are the same. Combat is fast-paced and turn-based, requiring players to make critical decisions with each turn, choosing between attack or defense moves. Quick thinking and strategic planning are essential to succeed in these intense battles.
Exploration within the dungeon features branching paths and pivotal choices that significantly impact your journey. Each decision carries lasting consequences, influencing battles and resource availability. True to the roguelike genre, failure is harsh—losing a fight means starting over from scratch, so careful planning is crucial.
