About
Navigate the war-torn lands of Heian period Japan in this FTL-style roguelike where you’ll make tough choices in randomized events, fight off a dangerous yokai army in tactical, turn-based hex combat, and recruit powerful allies to defeat the bloodthirsty sorceress Takiyasha.
Features- Tactical Combat - Battle a variety of enemies in tactical, turn-based, hex combat.
- Randomized Events - Travel across Japan triggering randomized Events with multiple outcomes where each playthrough is different.
- Permadeath - Each playthrough forces you to make tough decisions that matter because there are no second chances.
- Unique Allies to Recruit - Recruit and level up a band of warriors composed of farmers, samurais, poets, ninjas, and many more -- each with their own unique abilities to bring to the fight.
- Powerful Weapons - Collect a variety of powerful weapons -- each with their own unique attack.
- Unlocks - Unlock new leaders and warriors through achievements during gameplay.
- Historical - Assume the role of a famous persona such as the brave samurai Minamoto Yoshiie, the powerful warrior monk Benkei, the author of The Tale of Genji Murasaki Shikibu, and many more from the Heian period of Japanese history to lead a band of heroic warriors.
This Alpha Demo contains the first three Regions of the planned seven, roughly 75 unique Events, two leaders from a planned eight, six different Allies, roughly a dozen weapons, and seven different enemy types. It does not include many planned features - like weather and environmental effects. Overall, it is a solid vertical slice of the game we are making.
As excited as we are to put this in your hands, please keep in mind that this is, after all, an Alpha Demo. There will almost certainly be some bugs and UI weirdness, and everything is subject to change in the full version. You can help us improve by reporting issues through the in-game interface.
