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

Kazuma Kaneko, the acclaimed designer known for his work on Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Devil Summoner, is set to unveil his latest masterpiece, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter. Developed by COLOPL, this captivating roguelike deck-building game is slated for release on PC, iOS, and Android, promising a blend of Kaneko’s iconic dark and mythological visuals with engaging card-based combat.

The game unfolds in a futuristic version of Tokyo Bay, within The Hashira—a towering high-rise transformed into a sealed-off battleground. This eerie setting is home to gods and demons, and you play as a member of the elite national defense force, Tsukuyomi, tasked with reaching the top floor to neutralize a formidable target.

Fans of Kaneko's previous works will recognize the familiar fusion of urban decay and supernatural horror in Tsukuyomi’s atmosphere, perfectly marrying mythology with cyberpunk elements. The game is slated for release later this year, and players are eager to immerse themselves in its distinct world.

In Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, you’ll embark on a roguelike journey, building a deck of powerful abilities as you navigate through an ever-shifting dungeon. Each run offers unique cards, dungeon layouts, and enemy encounters, ensuring no two experiences are the same.

Combat in the game is both fast-paced and strategic, featuring turn-based battles where each turn allows only one action—either an attack or a defense move. Your choices in these moments are crucial, demanding quick thinking and tactical decision-making.

As you explore the dungeon, you'll encounter branching paths and critical decisions that will shape your journey. Each choice carries lasting consequences, impacting future battles and available resources. True to the roguelike genre, failure is harsh—losing a fight means starting over from the beginning, so strategic planning is key.

Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter is expected to launch around June 30th, though this date may shift. Stay tuned and secure your spot by pre-registering through the links provided below.
