Shochiku Games will release the roguelite 3D action game Mugen Sakura Roukaku on November 5 for PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch, priced at 1,500 yen including tax. The publisher announced the date on September 30 alongside a Switch version that had not previously been confirmed; the game was originally planned for Steam alone. Developer Denneko Yuugi, an indie circle led by representative Hosenka and operating with a team of about five people, built the game around Retra, a dual-wielding cat-eared protagonist who enters the Far Eastern country of Ouran, becomes trapped in a dreamlike tower, and fights to escape. Combat pairs normal and strong attacks with Arts specials, chained through button presses and a tension gauge that fills toward the ultimate Over Arts. Runs combine more than 50 enhancement items called Attributes with the Dream Depth system, which adds debuffs and strengthens enemies as the player goes deeper.
The announcement arrived with a playable update. The latest demo, live on Steam from September 30, reworks the UI presentation and hit reactions for what the publisher describes as more exhilarating combat, and an announcement trailer for the November 5 date was published at the same time.
Denneko Yuugi is a doujin circle led by representative Hosenka that builds its games inside one shared worldview, and its past releases include Seiju no Kishin Planet Ruler and Ether Code. The circle's stated aim is to develop the skills needed for 3D RPGs.
The CAMPFIRE Release Support Project funds the launch and offers backers supporter-exclusive goods such as figures and T-shirts. The top tiers include a Steam download key for playing the main game before release and a name listing in the end credits.
Coverage splits on the title's romanization and on Retra's name. GAME Watch and Denfaminicogamer use Mugen Sakura Roukaku and Eternal Palace Sakura respectively, while Automaton headlines the game as Mugen Ouka Rokaku. The protagonist appears as Retra Stultin, Letra Stolteen, and Letra=Stoltin across the three write-ups.
