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 thrilling blend of Kaneko's signature dark, mythological aesthetic and 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 set to immerse players when the game launches later this year.
In Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, players will engage in a roguelike card game experience, building a deck of powerful abilities as they navigate 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 strategic decisions with each turn, choosing between attack or defense moves.
Exploration in the game features branching paths and critical choices that significantly impact the 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, emphasizing the need for careful planning.
Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter is anticipated to launch around June 30th, though this date may be subject to change. Interested players can pre-register by clicking on their preferred link below.
