Tsukuyomi: Divine Hunter - Upcoming Deck-Building Roguelike by Kazuma Kaneko

Kazuma Kaneko, the iconic designer known for his work on Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Devil Summoner, is back with an exciting new project titled Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter. Developed by COLOPL, this roguelike deck-building game is set to launch on PC, iOS, and Android, blending Kaneko's distinctive dark and mythological style with 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 environment is now home to gods and demons, and an elite national defense force, Tsukuyomi, is tasked with reaching the top floor to neutralize a formidable target. The game's setting echoes Kaneko's previous works, seamlessly merging urban decay with supernatural horror to create a tense and atmospheric experience. Fans will appreciate the blend of mythology and cyberpunk themes when the game launches later this year.

In Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, players will engage in a roguelike card game where they build a deck of powerful abilities while navigating a dynamic dungeon. Each run through the game is unique, offering different cards, layouts, and enemy encounters, ensuring no two playthroughs are the same.

Combat in Tsukuyomi is fast-paced and turn-based, requiring players to make strategic decisions swiftly. Each turn allows for one action, either an attack or a defense move, demanding quick thinking and precise choices.

The dungeon exploration in Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter features branching paths and critical choices that influence your journey. Every decision you make has lasting effects on battles and resource availability. True to the roguelike genre, failure is harsh—losing a fight means starting over from the beginning, so careful planning is essential.

Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter is slated for release around June 30th, though the date is tentative. Interested players can pre-register by clicking on the provided links.
