## What is TRIBE NINE?

Defy the madness. Set in the nation of Neo Tokyo, where absolute madness rules. Here, teens face life-or-death battles, constantly resisting the harsh and unjust world.

■ Prologue
It's the year 20XX.
A mysterious masked man "Zero," who controls Neo Tokyo, declared his intention to transform the country into "a country where everything is decided by games.'' His invention of "Extreme Games" (or "XG" for short), is　now the rule of the Neo Tokyo.

However, the merciless rules of XG treat people's lives like toys,
plunging the citizens of Neo Tokyo into horrifying situations.

To rebel against Zero's control, a group of teens have formed a resistance organization.
Armed with techniques and gear from their beloved "XB (Extreme Baseball),"
they bravely engage in fierce battles alongside friends,
overcoming any obstacles to reclaim their stolen dreams and freedom.

■ The Distinct Cities of Neo Tokyo
You can explore cities that are reconstructed based on real places in Tokyo.
Each city has its own unique features, allowing you to meet interesting locals and explore every nook and cranny.

As a member of the resistance, you'll venture through the 23 cities of Neo Tokyo defeating enemies that stand in your way to liberate the cities.

■ Fight as a Team in Co-op/Melee Battles
Control a three-person party and fight alongside them in dynamic battles.
You can fight co-op to take on a powerful enemy, or join in a chaotic melee battle where your teammates and foes are jumbled.

■ Unique Characters
Over 10 playable characters will be available upon release.
You can feel each character's unique personality in their skills and actions, offering a diverse gameplay experience with each character you choose.

■ Endless Combinations
Depending on your team composition, your battle style and optimal strategy change dramatically.
This opens up endless combinations for you to create your own original build.

[Tension System]
When certain conditions are met during battle, a gauge called the "Tension Gauge" will rise.
When your tension rises, the effect of the equipped "Tension Card" will be activated depending on your level.
Each card triggers different effects that can turn the tide of battle.

[XB]
XB is a special nine-man battle mode, different from the regular battles.
The teens' beloved battle style, "XB," is featured in high-impact 3D cutscenes.
Experience the thrilling clash between souls.

*2025-09-29, version 1.1.3*

Sad very less player

### 5/5 — 運営さんに届けー！

*2025-09-21, version 1.1.3*

だいすきです。本当に大好きです。サ終悲しいです。
ストーリーもキャラクターもグラフィックも戦闘も曲もドットの画面も個性的なクエストに出てくるモブキャラとのやり取りもぜんぶだいすきです。毎日更新されるチャットもすきです。毎日ログインしてデイリーやって、ガチャ石コツコツ貯めて、本当に毎日が楽しかったです。イベントも毎回ワクワクして、ゲーム
きかっけでアニメも見たので隠し要素のミナトトライブとのXBは泣きながらやりました。テンションカードの詳細もぜんぶ見ました。イベント
限定キャラも含めて星3キャラ
完全無課金で揃えました。コンパチブル・モンスターを略すとパチモンになるのもすきです。
トライブナインのように自分で操作するアクションゲームはほとんどやったことないですが、バトルが本に楽しくて楽しくて。とにかくプレイヤースキルが問われるゲームで、最初はサメズにボコボコにされたのもいい思い出です。カウンターの爽快感がたまらないです。散らばった紙の上を歩くと足音が少し変化する細かな部分もエリアごとに変わる曲もすきです。
このゲームがサ終すると講義終わりにTwitterの通知で知ったとき驚きすぎて声出ました。悲しいです寂しいですコラボカフェとか行きたかったしグッズももっと集めたかったです。
1人残らずみんなすきだと言うゲームは存在しないですし、このゲームもチクチク攻撃されたと思います。
でも私と同じようにだいすきで、サ終して欲しくなくて、サ終が決まってもプレイし続けてる人がいるんです！
トライブナインの代わりになるゲームはこの世にひとつもないんです。寂しいです。
でもこのゲームに出会えてよかったと心から思います。社会人になって子どもができておばさんになっても、このゲームのことはふとしたときにきっと思い出します。
このゲームの制作に関わったすべての人に感謝を伝えたいです。本当に本当にありがとうございました。このゲームを作ってくれてありがとうございました。3章出してくれてありがとうございました。
ずっとずっとだいすきな作品です。
最後の日までやり続けます。

「サ終取り消しします」と運営が発表する夢をみた人間より

### 1/5 — Well

*2025-09-10, version 1.1.3*

That didn’t last long
