## What is HOSHIKAGE?

Deflect. Break. Issen.

Swipe up, down, left, or right to deflect incoming attacks and break your enemies’ stance.
Then touch and hold to unleash Issen, cutting down all staggered enemies in a single strike.
Feel the tension of deflecting attack after attack, then the thrill of a decisive counterstrike.
Enjoy the clash of blades with simple swipes and holds.

Enemies close in from both sides and coordinate their attacks to overwhelm you.
One enemy strikes between the blows of another’s combo.
Read each attack’s direction and timing, and deflect in rhythm.

Chain deflections to spark Quickening, which helps you break your enemies’ stance.
Turn successful deflections into an opening for Issen.
Boss battles put your skills to the test.

Two ways to play.

STORY

Beneath the moon, a swordswoman in white faces a mysterious figure in a fox mask.
Without a single line of dialogue, their story unfolds through the way they fight and the gestures between clashes.
See where their blades lead.

ENDLESS

How long can you survive against a wide variety of enemies?
Chain deflections and chase a higher score.
