Read details on the game below:
Brutal and unforgiving, Kaidan plunges you into a nightmarish vision of Japanese dark fantasy twisted by cosmic horror. Alone or with friends, strategize carefully as you endure a relentless descent into madness, where every moment is a vicious fight to survive.
Caught in the web between life and death, you rise as a Seeker, having struck a deal with The Envoy for a second chance. You are cast back to your once tranquil land of Ikaiguchi, instructed to tear the voice from the throats of the Chordbearers.
Alone or with allies, endure the weight of madness, through desecrated temples, blighted villages, and realms where the mist between worlds is thin.
Features:
- Explore Ikaiguchi, a land inspired by Japanese mythos and twisted by cosmic horror.
- Fight horrific Yokai and powerful bosses in visceral, high stakes combat.
- Manage a roster of unique characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
- Prepare for missions carefully, balance your needed supplies and tools against valuable relics to recover.
- Upgrade and customize your arsenal of deadly weaponry and abilities.
- Survive… lest you lose it all.
