About

Assume the role of Takeshi, a Japanese samurai who has to protect his village from the onslaught of an Oni attempting to conquer the land with his undead army. Fight against his army of tengu, undead and the horrifying Jorogumo, all inspired by Japanese mythology, in a unique, brutal stop-motion cinematic adventure.
Explore a meticulously crafted world alive with Japanese mythology and folklore. Wander through ruined villages, mountain caves, desolate cemeteries, and more. Battle yokai, undead monsters, and demons, all expertly rendered in a highly detailed, Ray Harryhausen-esque stop-motion style.
Fight through the undead hordes as three distinct characters: Takeshi, a skilled samurai; Kodama, a brave but tiny spirit; and Chisai, a warrior cat. Each interacts with the world in a different way, from intense sword combat to precise platforming and exploration.
Confront legions of demons armed with the weapons of ancient Japan: the iconic katana, the versatile yari spear, and the formidable bow. Unleash devastating special power attacks and combos unique to each character as you fight your way to the Oni’s castle.
Every step taken and foe vanquished grants you invaluable experience. Harness this to unlock the true potential within you, enhancing your abilities, honing your stats, and above all mastering an array of awe-inspiring moves that you can form into custom combos.

i really wanted to like this game. i bear myself to be not bothered with the rough edges. The art and visual are nice, the combat wasn't bad. but so many game breaking bugs that super frustrating in early game. after cutscenes post first fighting training, Takeshi just stuck can't walk go anywhere. After jumping and rolling it just slide like roller skating, this is reproducible even with new save file. Sometimes you can't just enter the well to meet Anako even when you have already get the key. On sale? nah. Save your time. The troubles isn't worth it
It's a lovely looking game and the premise is cool. HOWEVER the damn stutter when the camera shifts makes it an absolute pain to play. For a game that has combat that requires split second reactions that lag makes combat an absolute nightmare and you're constantly thrown into it. It also makes the precision platforming a pain in the ass (especially since most platforming fails result in death). The first part was fine but the game breaking stuttering becomes blatantly apparent once you enter the trapped passageway. I REALLY wanted to like this game but technical design with the camera panning is the biggest crux to an otherwise great game (And my system easily surpasses the recommended specs before anyone asks.) Given the game is 1.5 years old now I ain't holding hope that they'll fix anything. Refunded.
你可以质疑它的玩法,但不可否认它的美术
Pesimo, el juego esta lleno de bugs, las fisicas estan horribles, parece una beta, hay un delay entre el mando y la accion del PJ , no lo recomiendo
Molto semplicemente i comandi non rispondono! E' impossibile rispondere agli attacchi nel momento giusto e la difficoltà dei nemici è sproporzionata. Un vero peccato: ambientazione e grafica stupenda ma realizzazione pessima. Spero in una seria patch a breve perchè così è ingiocabile.
Приветствую! Люблю японскую культуру и самурайскую тематику в особенности. Игра, первые несколько часов, очень нравилась и я прошёл бы её до конца если бы это было возможно. Но из-за не работающих прыжков на последнем уровне пришлось бросить прохождение. Очень жаль.
Credo, que jogo ruim
堡垒之径那个往上跳的关卡开发者认真的?你们自己玩过吗?存在这种bug还拿出来卖?
А зачем вам геймплэй с первых минут?
Juego con una mala coordinación de movimientos y teclas o botones, cuando no hay enemigos el personaje va super bien fluido, pero al momento de pelear con el BOSS del subsuelo y el tercer personaje jugable se me ha hecho IMPOSIBLE de superar, la reacción de movimientos no es para nada fina, al punto que pareciera que el personaje hace lo que quiere, no está bien coordinado el timming a la hora de pelear con ciertos héroes, el esquive es al re pedo! ya que en la mayoría de las veces te van a Garchar igual!!! (eso me sucedió solo con el personaje "azul", el espíritu). Ese detalle para mi cortó toda buena sensación al punto de la frustración. En mi caso NO LO RECOMIENDO por un gameplay mal pulido.
