Kazuma Kaneko, the iconic designer renowned for his work on Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Devil Summoner, is making a thrilling comeback with his latest project, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter. Developed by COLOPL, this roguelike deck-building game is set to launch on PC, iOS, and Android, blending Kaneko’s distinctive dark and mythological visual style with engaging 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. The structure is now home to gods and demons, and the elite national defense force, Tsukuyomi, has been tasked with reaching the top floor to neutralize a formidable threat.
Fans of Kaneko’s previous works will find the setting of Tsukuyomi strikingly familiar, as it masterfully intertwines elements of urban decay with supernatural horror, crafting an atmosphere that's both eerie and intense. The game promises a unique blend of mythology and cyberpunk themes, set to captivate players upon its release later this year.
As a roguelike deck-building game, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter challenges players to construct a deck of potent abilities while navigating a dynamically changing dungeon. Each run offers a fresh experience with varying cards, layouts, and enemy encounters, ensuring no two playthroughs are the same.
Combat in Tsukuyomi is fast-paced and turn-based, requiring players to make strategic decisions with each move. With only one action per turn, whether it's an attack or a defense, players must act swiftly and wisely to outmaneuver their foes.
Exploration within the dungeon features branching paths and critical 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 the beginning, so strategic planning is essential.
