A breezy, fast-paced arcade action game with cute pixel graphics and light puzzle solving, set in a Shinto-inspired fantasy world.

What players say

Players describe Kamiko as a short and simple hack-and-slash that takes under an hour to beat, with three playable characters and a focus on speedrunning. Opinions split: some find it a charming bite-sized Zelda-like with crisp controls, while others call it repetitive, note annoying hidden paths, and warn that a high-refresh-rate monitor breaks movement speed.
