Phoenixx announced on June 4 that the dungeon destruction shooting game Dungeon Kuzushi will release on Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android on June 18. Developed by Kotaro Yoshida, known for directing Yuusha 30 and Hyakunin Yuusha, the game casts players as a witch who uses destruction magic to break through dungeon walls, taking shortcuts or forcing paths through obstacles. Items and rescued adventurers grant temporary power-ups such as increased bullet damage, faster reloads, and more bullets per shot. The Switch download version costs 980 yen, while the smartphone versions are 380 yen each. A launch sale on the Nintendo eShop discounts the Switch version 30 percent to 686 yen until June 30. Pre-orders for the Switch version began on June 4. The PC version, released on Steam in January 2025, has sold over 40,000 copies and holds a Very Positive user rating. Post-launch updates have added modes including an endless Infinite Dungeon, a Quick Destruction Challenge time attack, and a Hard Dungeon with stronger walls and enemies.
