Kazuma Kaneko, the iconic designer behind the Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Devil Summoner series, is making a triumphant return with his latest project, Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter. Developed by COLOPL, this eagerly awaited roguelike deck-building game will be available on PC, iOS, and Android, showcasing Kaneko’s signature dark and mythological aesthetic paired 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 structure is now overrun by gods and demons, and an elite national defense force known as Tsukuyomi has been tasked with reaching the top floor to eliminate a formidable target.
Fans of Kaneko's previous works will appreciate the game's setting, which masterfully blends urban decay with supernatural horror, creating an atmosphere that's both eerie and tense. The fusion of mythology and cyberpunk themes will immerse players in a gripping experience when Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter launches later this year.
As a roguelike deck-building game, Tsukuyomi challenges players to craft a deck of powerful abilities while navigating an ever-changing dungeon. Each playthrough introduces different cards, layouts, and enemy encounters, ensuring no two runs are the same.
Combat in Tsukuyomi is fast-paced and turn-based, requiring players to make strategic decisions with each move. With only one action per turn, whether an attack or a defense, players must be quick and precise in their choices.
While exploring the dungeon, players will encounter branching paths and crucial decisions that shape their journey. Each choice carries lasting consequences, impacting battles and resource availability. True to the roguelike genre, failure is harsh—losing a fight means starting over from scratch, so strategic planning is essential.
Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter is slated for release around June 30th, though this date may be subject to change. Interested players can pre-register by clicking on their preferred link below.
