SUMMARY

When Keika receives a request to vanquish youkai, her younger sister, Hatsuka, is already out on another quest. Determined to set a good example for her less disciplined sibling, who often fails to show up to training, Keika visits the village Shinto priest who made the request. This priest tells her of a giant monkey youkai who has led other youkai on a rampage in and around his village. She confidently accepts the request alone, believing that her powers as a priestess would help overcome them...

GAMEPLAY

This game features roguelike RPG mechanics, complete with dungeon layouts and enemy battle formations that change on every playthrough. It also features the fan-acclaimed "Pandemonium" and "Youkai Soulshare" systems from previous "Dawn of Kagura" installments. Strengthen the youkai you've accepted into your ranks and use them to face down even greater monsters!

CHARACTER

Keika Otowa (Voice: Megumi Haruka)

Weapon: Sword
The first daughter of the Mizumori Shrine, and Hatsuka’s older sister. As a mild-mannered and polite woman, she takes her priestess duties very seriously. Despite her efforts, though, she’s a natural airhead. Every ounce of it is genuine, but her lack of technological know-how is unbelievable at times.
