Kazuma Kaneko, the iconic designer known for his work on Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Devil Summoner, is back with a thrilling new project: Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter. Developed by COLOPL, this roguelike deck-building game is set to launch on PC, iOS, and Android, merging Kaneko's signature dark, mythological visuals with strategic card-based combat.
Set against the backdrop of a futuristic Tokyo Bay, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter unfolds within The Hashira, a towering high-rise transformed into a sealed-off battleground. This structure is now home to gods and demons, and an elite national defense force named Tsukuyomi has been tasked with reaching the top floor to take down a formidable target.
Fans of Kaneko's previous works will recognize the game's setting, which masterfully blends urban decay with supernatural horror, creating an atmosphere that's both eerie and tense. The game promises a unique fusion of mythology and cyberpunk themes, set to captivate players upon its release later this year.
In Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, you'll build a deck of powerful abilities while navigating an ever-changing dungeon. Each run offers a fresh experience with new cards, layouts, and enemy encounters, ensuring no two playthroughs are the same.
Combat in the game is fast-paced and turn-based, requiring you to make strategic choices with each action. You'll have only one action per turn, which can be either an attack or a defense move, so quick and smart decision-making is crucial.
While exploring the dungeon, you'll encounter branching paths and significant decisions that will shape your journey. Each choice you make has lasting consequences, impacting battles and available resources. True to the roguelike genre, failure is harsh—losing a fight means starting over from scratch, so strategic planning is essential.
Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter is slated for release around June 30th, though this date may change. You can pre-register for the game by clicking on your preferred link below.
