8 itemsAbout the Game
Yokai Rescue is a short but intense experience where your reflexes are put to the challenge. Drag yourself into the air with your magical Yokai powers to ascend through the various levels of the tower. But beware, the Selvos are everywhere and will try to stop you. Your master has been captured along with other Yokais and you must rescue them.
Attach your energy rope onto rings and even enemies to drag yourself up and move in the air. Use your dash to evade attacks and adjust your trajectory with precise timing. Eliminate the Selvos with a single swift pierce to make your way up.
As you progress upward, you will reach new levels of the tower with each one having its own environment and challenges. Discover new enemies, obstacles and mechanics and test your mastery of the controller.

You will encounter various enemies with very different behaviour and patterns. Learn how to evade their attacks, how to defeat them and survive during intense battles.
Uncover the story behind the invasion of the Selvos as you encounter new characters along the way.
