Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree Launches on Consoles and PC

Early critiques compare the roguelite to Hades, citing shallow upgrade depth.

Overview

  • The game is available now as a digital download on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam, priced at $29.99.
  • Players can tackle runs solo or in local and online co-op, with eight playable guardians supporting a sword-and-staff combat setup.
  • Each attempt pairs a Tsurugi sword-wielder with a Kagura staff user, mixes in durability-based weapon swapping, and culminates in boss encounters after room-clearing progression.
  • Shinju Village serves as a persistent hub where players craft swords, train at the dojo, build relationships, and summon Graces between timelines.
  • A Polygon review labels the combat derivative with limited build variety and discloses testing on a PS5 prerelease code provided by Bandai Namco.
