About the Game

OVERVIEW

Hack and slash through hordes of beasts and powerful boss enemies as a sexy costume clad café manager on a mission to save her kidnapped employee!
Use up to three weapons at once to attack, guard, and combo to wipe out large groups of enemies, or deal massive damage to bosses with this simple to pick up yet satisfying combat system.
Collect new weapons, power ups, and costumes as you progress, then put your skills to test in 1v1 battles against side-characters in the unlockable arena mode!

STORY

In a fantasy world where humans and mythical creatures live tenuously side-by-side, a busty, weapon-savvy cafe manager springs into action when one of her employees is kidnapped by a gang of goblins. Can she safely fight her way through the lawless land of wild beats, orcs, and dragons to rescue her star waitress?
Or will she herself fall into the hands of evil as well...?

ARENA MODE


Clear the game once to unlock area mode! Select your fighter, choose their outfit, then begin fighting your way through increasingly difficult one-on-one matches, and 4 way multi-character brawls!
Each fighter has their own unique special ability and basic weapons, so have fun learning the unique attacks, strengths, and weaknesses of them all!
