Reviews

“If you’re in for some meditative classic gaming, Hyakki Castle is for you.”
8.5 / 10 – Paste Magazine

“It was a nice, even split, but then Asakusa Studios landed on the scene with Hyakki Castle, which mixes the western approach to the ‘crawl with an entirely Japanese aesthetic and theme. And it’s so, so good.”

“PCゲームへ新規参入した意欲作の真価”

About This Game

The 2 Party System has been improved for better combat!

When you divide your party into 2, the group you aren't controlling turns to stone and has greatly increased defense. Some Yokai cannot be attacked from the front so use your stone companions as shields and strike your foes from behind.
Enjoy thrilling battles never before seen in Hyakki Castle!

Each floor has been revamped and improved with new mechanisms!

Every floor has been reimagined with new and improved traps, mechanisms, and Yokai placement. New mechanisms and floor layouts have been replaced to improve the play experience!

Yokai with new powers and behaviors!

From teleporting Gaikotsu Yujo, to Gyuki suddenly striking from the ceiling, certain Yokai have gained powerful new abilities!

Battles with Boss Yokai have been revamped!

Most boss Yokai battles are completely different this time around. One change for example: the 2nd boss, Haragao no Mure, advances through 3 rooms. In the final room, a Shokandama and multiple fakes will appear. Make sure to attack the real one!

Choose from 3 control settings!

You can choose from 3 different control settings for your gamepad.

New Tutorial floor added!

When you start the game, there will be a tutorial introducing the 2 Party System and how to utilize it.

You no longer fill your stomach when leveling up or using a save point.

In the castle, you must eat the food you find to recover HG and sleep to recover HP and MP. Food acquisition and management are now key mechanics in this dungeon RPG.

New CG events when moving between floors!

When you move from one floor to another, enjoy 17 new CG events.

Parts of the UI and display have been updated!

Certain portions of the user interface, along with HP, MP, and other displays have been updated. Selectable character portraits have been added.
