Really charming game. It's like 3 games into one base building + troop management + hack and slash

I am still early on in the game after 3 hours. But what a treat its been so far. I love that Capcom gave time and money to make this somewhat smaller title a go. Visually the game is brilliant looking, and really captures the feeling of this mythical Japanese setting. And the gameplay is very interesting as well.

It's a mix between Strategy and Action combat. In a way it is one long escort mission, but in a good way. You clear a path for the princess to cleanse the land and place your units in strategic positions. And then you as the player go in with your hero and hack and slash the other enemies. This is all done in many different looking stages with each their own challenges.
In between missions you can relax and build up the towns and bring them back to their former glory. And then your off to kill a big boss. and so on.

If this theme and gameplay style is your thing, go grab it for yourself!!

Such a refreshing game! It's a super fun blend of map strategy, managing resources, and hack n slash.

Probably the most unique game I've played recently, not only is it bizzare looking but it's also got a really interesting twist on tower defense games. You are a samurai protector that has to protect the goddess as she cleanses the land of corruption, after which you can and should rebuild all the buildings and equipment, which in turn gives you collectibles and upgrade points. There are no towers, instead, you command different units, ranging from mages, melee soldiers as well as ranged shooters, each fitting a different role, at either dispatching enemies, supporting other units or tanking all the enemies. Capcom's enemy design is something that should be put in history books as this is another game with super unique enemy designs that don't cease to amaze. Plenty of replay value and a bunch of stuff to unlock on your way to 100%, definitely recommend it.

nice ps2 game, I love that it's a new IP

This game is NOT going to be for everyone, but for people who enjoy these weird experimental games from the big publishers, this does scratch that itch pretty well. Heavily recommend checking out the demo to see if this is up your alley.

This is a beautiful game with a unique vision that is visible in every aspect of the presentation. From the strange enemy designs to the inspired soundtrack and the animations that make everything look like a ritual dance.
While the combat is pretty simple and the game over all quite easy, the creativity and experience as a whole more than makes up for it.
If you're looking for a mechanically deep game or a complex story this may not be the game for you but if you're up for an atmospheric japanese folk tale paired with a unique and polished blend of multiple genres I cannot recommend this game enough.
I might hate Capcom's business practices and treatment of certain IPs but I absolutely respect them for putting out niche games like this that defy a lot of modern trends.

The most creative thing Capcom has put out in years. Precisely what you'd think a Capcom strategy game would be. Looks and sounds gorgeous as well

Finally something new, an action game mixed with tower defense, but with an amazing atmosphere. Does not overstay its welcome either. Give it a go o7
