Kazuma Kaneko, the iconic designer behind the Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Devil Summoner series, is set to unveil his latest creation, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter. Developed by COLOPL, this upcoming roguelike deck-building game will be available on PC, iOS, and Android, merging Kaneko's distinctive dark and mythological art style with strategic card-based combat.
Set in a futuristic Tokyo Bay, the game unfolds within The Hashira, a towering high-rise transformed into a sealed-off battleground. This ominous structure is now home to gods and demons, and it's up to the elite national defense force, Tsukuyomi, to ascend to the top floor and neutralize a formidable adversary.
Fans of Kaneko's previous works will recognize the game's setting, which masterfully intertwines urban decay with supernatural horror, crafting an atmosphere steeped in tension and eerie mystique. The game promises to deliver a captivating blend of mythology and cyberpunk themes upon its release later this year.
In Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, players will dive into a roguelike experience where they must build a deck of potent abilities to navigate an ever-evolving dungeon. Each run offers unique challenges, with varying cards, dungeon layouts, and enemy encounters ensuring no two journeys are alike.
Combat in the game is fast-paced and turn-based, demanding strategic decision-making with each move. Players can choose between an attack or a defense action per turn, requiring quick thinking and precise choices to overcome adversaries.
