Overview

  • Hands-on previews confirm the roguelite structure with procedurally generated runs and ore-based upgrades in Shinju Village’s persistent hub.
  • Players team up a Tsurugi sword-fighter wielding Honzashi and Wakizashi swords with a Kagura support caster whose spells offer tactical effects.
  • Combat relies on a durability swap between two blades, Hades-style dodge-and-telegraph encounters and a build-up Fatal Blow that grants heavy damage and brief invincibility.
  • In-run bonfire interactions showcase Prayer Children backstories and relationships, reinforcing the game’s narrative focus on character bonds.
  • The public demo lets players test crafting, inscriptions and dojo upgrades across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC ahead of launch.
