Shochiku Games announced on September 30, 2026 that the Steam and Nintendo Switch versions of Mugen Sakura Roukaku, a roguelite 3D action game from indie circle Den Neko Yugi, arrive on November 5, 2026 at 1,500 yen. A crowdfunding run on CAMPFIRE has opened with goods and early download keys, and an updated trial version is now on Steam.
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.
