About the Game

Yōkai Hunter is a bullet-heaven survival roguelite set in a dusk-cursed Japan — pick a hunter, evolve their arsenal, and hold the line as the yōkai horde grows denser, faster, and hungrier with every passing minute.

――――――――――

A Weapon for Every Hunter

Every hunter starts with a signature weapon and a completely different way of playing — pair it with the right charm mid-run and watch it transform into a devastating evolved form, from ground-shaking area attacks to beams of pure spirit energy.

――――――――――

The Horde Never Stops Growing

Waves scale endlessly — clear one line of yōkai and three more take its place. Out-level them, out-build them, or get buried under the swarm.

――――――――――

Command an Army of Yōkai

Some hunters don't fight alone — bind demons to your will and let an ever-growing pack of summoned yōkai do the killing for you.

――――――――――

Corruption Has a Price — and a Reward

Slay the Corruption festering in each map's enclave to unlock a permanent, run-altering perk tree back at the shrine. Power always costs something.

Some doors, once opened, do not close.
