How it feels

A tense, strategic roguelike set in Heian Japan where every decision carries weight as you lead a party through randomized events and tactical hex battles.

What players say

Players praise the FTL-inspired map progression and hand-drawn Japanese art, but opinions split on difficulty: some call it fair while others say normal and hard modes rely too much on RNG with one-hit kills.
