Rustil of Collected Lives - Labyrinth Castle of Kokoe

Steamストアページ

What caught my attention was the roguelike action game "Shumei no Rustil - Togoshie no Labyrinth Castle," which was created by a teacher in the department by himself. In this exhilarating roguelike action game, the main character, Stil, acquires abilities from the souls of various heroes and aims to reach the top floor while strengthening the main character. This title offers an exhilarating battle experience, allowing players to combine various abilities and enjoy combat in their own preferred style.


Weapons appearing in the game include swords, staffs, axes, guns, etc., and up to six weapons can be equipped at the same time. You can use multiple weapons of your choice, allowing you to create your own unique fighting style and use multiple favorite weapons. In addition, all monsters that stand in the way of your adventure can not only be captured, but can also be summoned from training and made to fight. You can enjoy a wide range of combat methods, such as equipping yourself and summoning monsters, allowing you to create your own unique battle style. "Rustil of the Collected Lives: The Labyrinth Castle of the Ancient World" is scheduled to be released on Steam in 2024, so add it to your wish list and wait for its release.


Other games of various genres were also on display, with children playing together and long lines of people waiting in line to see the games on display. Among the games on display were a VR game teamed up with the sound department of the same school, and a hands-on corner where visitors could delve into e-sports, where they could become e-sports players. I visited the booth and was astonished by the high quality of the games.
