Ronin: Yokai Halls

A wandering ronin returns to the old halls – and every room is full of yokai from Japanese folklore. Ronin: Yokai Halls is a single-player action roguelite you play with one finger, in portrait mode, offline. HOW IT PLAYS • Drag anywhere to move and dodge shots; stand still and the ronin attacks the nearest yokai automatically. • Each chapter has 20 floors, a mini-boss halfway and a boss at the end. • Defeated yokai leave souls that level you up. Every level you pick 1 of 3 techniques, so no two runs are alike. • Before each gate you pick the next reward: a relic, treasure, technique or healing spring. • After the boss, leave or stay for the Final Onslaught: ever-stronger yokai and more gold for as long as you last. • When you fall, you keep your gold for permanent upgrades. Leave mid-run and continue later. TECHNIQUES, COMBOS AND RELICS • 113 techniques in five rarities and 10 schools: projectiles, elements, orbiting blades, a toxic trail, a spirit aura, fox-fires, lightning from the sky, defense and more. • Hold up to 9 techniques and awaken maxed ones for even more power. • Play your way: with the Way of No Weapon you can win with blades, an aura or running alone. • Each of the 10 weapons has 3 techniques of its own. • 21 secret combos and 11 legendary evolutions when you max out the right pair of techniques. • 16 relics that bend the rules. Kusanagi, the Yata Mirror and the Magatama unite as the Three Sacred Treasures. GAME MODES • Story: 200 chapters across 5 lands – a haunted temple, a bamboo forest, a snowy mountain pass, a fire mountain and the shadow castle of Izumo. • Endless Tower: floors without end, a boss on every tenth. • Daily Challenge: a new weapon, land and modifiers every day, with one attempt. • Boss Rush: six bosses in a row, with a shrine and the merchant between them. • 4 difficulties (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare) – harder ones pay more gold – and Hardcore with a single life for double gold. YOKAI AND BOSSES • 29 kinds of yokai, each with its own behaviour: the living wall nurikabe, the sickle weasel kamaitachi, the bakeneko cat that rises once from the dead and more. • Guardians with special traits: shielded, splitting, explosive, vampiric, swift and summoning. • A nemesis: the yokai that defeats you comes back stronger – with a bounty on its head. • 11 bosses from Japanese myth: Oni, Tengu, Yuki-onna, Gashadokuro, Yamata no Orochi, the Nine-Tailed Fox, Raijin, Ryujin and others. SEALS, MERCHANT AND FESTIVALS • Touch a weakened guardian to seal it – it becomes your companion and fights at your side. • The tanuki merchant sells techniques, relics and feasts for the gold you earn during a run. • Festivals through the year – Hanami, Tanabata, Obon, Momiji, New Year – each with its own colours, yokai and bonuses. GROW STRONGER • 10 upgradeable weapons: shuriken, yumi bow, ofuda talismans, katana, horoku bombs, kunai, kusarigama, tessen fan, yari spear and Raiju, the thunder beast. • 6 heroes with their own abilities (kunoichi, monk, onmyoji…), 10 dojo training skills with secret techniques and 13 looks for your ronin. • Ronin’s Path: every run earns points toward 40 reward tiers with gold, relics and two exclusive looks. • Restore the ruined temple: six buildings from rubble to golden glory, each with a permanent bonus. • A world map painted like an emaki scroll, a bestiary of folklore, a 7-day reward calendar, 3 daily quests and 36 achievements. MADE WITH CARE • 3D scenes rendered as crisp pixel art, original Japanese-inspired music and haptic feedback. • English and Slovak. Plays fully offline – no account, no ads, no tracking.
