Tsukuyomi: Divine Hunter - Kazuma Kaneko's New Roguelike Deck-Builder

Kazuma Kaneko, the legendary designer renowned for his work on Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Devil Summoner, is making a triumphant return 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 platforms, blending Kaneko's iconic dark, mythological style with strategic card-based gameplay.

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 battleground. This eerie structure is now home to gods and demons, and an elite national defense force known as Tsukuyomi has been tasked with reaching the top floor to neutralize a formidable target. Fans of Kaneko's previous works will recognize the familiar blend of urban decay and supernatural horror, which creates a gripping and tense atmosphere. The game masterfully weaves together mythology and cyberpunk themes, promising a truly immersive experience upon its release later this year.

In Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, players will engage in a roguelike deck-building challenge, crafting a deck of powerful abilities while navigating an ever-shifting dungeon. Each run through the game will be unique, featuring different cards, dungeon layouts, and enemy encounters, ensuring that no two experiences are the same.

Combat in the game is fast-paced and turn-based, requiring players to make critical decisions with each move. Every turn allows only one action, whether an attack or a defense, demanding quick thinking and strategic planning to succeed.

Exploration within the dungeon features branching paths and significant choices that shape your journey. Each decision carries lasting consequences, influencing subsequent battles and available resources. True to the roguelike genre, failure is harsh; losing a fight means losing all progress and starting anew, emphasizing the importance of careful planning and strategy.

Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter is slated for release around June 30th, though this date is subject to change. Interested players can pre-register by clicking on their preferred link below.
