About the Game

In the early 2000s, a team led by akio, known for their work in the arcade game industry, secretly developed an RPG titled Navinosuke: The Yo-kai Buster.

Though the game was never released and remained dormant for over 20 years, it is now finally coming back to life.

Set in a fictional ancient Japan, this 2D pixel-art RPG follows Navinosuke, a karakuri Onmyoji apprentice, as he travels across the land resolving Yo-kai-related incidents.

Throughout the journey, players will encounter over 200 unique Yo-kai. Some will stand in your way as enemies, while others will become trusted allies and fight alongside you.

Using elemental attributes and the Shikigami system, players can build their own party and engage in strategic turn-based battles.
