Tatakau Dake

Tatakau Dake is a command-based RPG in development by Hebiside Creation, with a Steam page open and a 2027 PC release scheduled. A playable demo is being shown at Tokyo Game Show 2026.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 21

Tatakau Dake is an expanded commercial version of the free browser game Fight Only Game, which launched on unityroom in April 2026 and passed 10,000 plays in its first week. Hebiside Creation opened a Steam store page for the game on July 15, 2026, with release planned for PC in 2027. The Steam version adds content beyond the browser original: new metafiction gimmicks, additional stages, and a volume increase of more than ten times. The premise is a princess with only the Fight command, who punches enemies, allies, window frames, and even the game console itself.

The game was exhibited at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 on August 8 and at GamesCom 2026 starting August 26, with a playable demo at both venues. By September 2026, the demo reached Tokyo Game Show 2026, where hands-on play centers on fights against the Mushroom Queen, whose small mushrooms can be eaten to recover, and Drillman, whose Drill Pawns are wiped out by a Belt equipped through the Equipment command. Reports describe the difficulty as resting on timing and item use rather than on added options, the inverse of how the genre usually scales.

Details on the party and framing story come from the July material. Party members include a timid priest and a sarcastic mage who act on their own, with the player influencing their actions by choosing which targets to punch. A framing story has a young player controlling the princess while talking to their father, and monsters appear in the real world. Hebiside Creation previously made the meta-horror typing game Dyping Escape.
