Publisher TENJIN GAMES opened the Steam store page for Kakei Denki, a dot-pixel Japanese-style side-scrolling action game developed by Asobuild.LLC. Players switch between half-demon princess Saya and her retainer Juubei to defeat the Orochi clan. A demo is planned for 2026, and a board game prequel has already been released.
The Steam store page for Kakei Denki is now live, publisher TENJIN GAMES announced. The game, developed by Asobuild.LLC, is a dot-pixel Japanese-style side-scrolling action game scheduled for release around summer 2027. A demo version is planned for release within the year.
Players control Saya, a princess turned half-demon after being poisoned by the Orochi's curse and revived by a celestial fox's power, and her retainer Juubei. Saya attacks from range with a bow, absorbing demonic energy from defeated yokai to unleash charged arrows, while Juubei uses a spear for close-quarters defense. The story branches based on player decisions about whom to trust and recruit.
A board game prequel, Kakei Denki: Kitsunebi Tsukiyo, developed by Asakusa Games, has already been released. It is a semi-cooperative game for two players using asymmetric decks to deduce the attributes of face-down yokai chips.
