In addition, there's a Skirmish campaign, Samurai Stronghold matches, and a glut of other content to wade through. You can fuse them together into more powerful beings, and even have your yokai fight other players' squads. The yokai will act as a big part of the game, as you can collect them or get them via "gacha" methods, similar to games like Fire Emblem Heroes. You can also collect over 80 yokai to take into battle with you, three at a time. You'll need to draw symbols to bring on special finishing moves to blow your opponents away, which adds a nice little flourish to what could otherwise feel like a very typical hack and slash. And when you see a demon, you know you just have to slay it.Įach character will play a little bit differently, thanks to the touch-based control scheme.

It's an upcoming free-to-play game where you'll take on the role of samurai Onimaru, shrine maiden Sayo, or a third character who's yet to be named. The company has been working in tandem with mobile developer DeNA for a new title called World of Demons. Platinum Games has been hard at work on a new project, though it might be different from what you're expecting.
