Step into a distant, mystic realm with Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree on Nintendo Switch. This roguelite-RPG invites you to rally eight steadfast guardians, forge powerful blades, and guide Shinju Village toward a brighter future as ancient forces stir and Magatsu’s shadow grows longer.
Beautiful danger and a world that breathes with you
Traverse a vibrant landscape where every corner holds both awe and peril. As Towa, you’ll lead the guardians through lands where splendor and threat intermingle, shaping the village’s fate with each choice. The score, crafted under the guidance of Hitoshi Sakimoto, invites you deeper into a sweeping adventure where the beauty of discovery is matched only by the peril that lies ahead.
Dynamic roguelite combat that rewards clever pairing
- Fight as a duo: Team up with one of eight trusted guardians to take on Magatsu’s forces. Each pairing brings a distinct rhythm and strategy to battle.
- Unique weapon synergies: Wield the sacred Tsurugi (sword) and the Kagura (staff). Every guardian has their own abilities and sets of swords, creating fresh combat styles and exciting combinations each run.
- Conquer colourful dungeons: Navigate varied environments, craft counterattacks, and push through challenging encounters as you push toward Shinju Village’s restoration.
Forge bonds, craft strength, and unlock legendary power
As guardians pursue their quests across shifting timelines, Shinju Village evolves—with new residents, customs, and stories woven into its daily life. You’ll train at the dojo to sharpen skills, summon powerful Graces to aid your party, and craft new swords at the smithing shop. Each visit deepens your connection to the people and the history that sustain the sacred tree.
