Bakeru

Bakeru is an action game set in “Fairy Tale Japan,” a world combining modern Japan with old period dramas. When Oracle Saitaro and his Festival Troops use a bizarre festival to take over Japan, Bakeru travels across 47 Japanese prefectures to free the country from evil spirits.

Stages across Japan

The game spans more than 50 stages, with over 47 based on Japanese prefectures, each with its own motifs. You guide Bakeru through obstacles and enemies, and some stages have you transform into a vehicle to race or take to the skies for air combat.

Combat and transformations

Bakeru fights with a drum, a secret treasure passed down by the Tanuki Clan that can purify evil spirits. He uses simple controls to battle enemies and navigate traps. By obtaining Henge Licenses, he can transform into the person who granted each license, including Japanese heroes Kintaro and Momotaro, and use their skills and abilities.

Steam release additions

The Steam release adds the Hurricane attack, the Spinning Top attack and a combo that combines the two. It also adds the Lantern Boss as an enemy.
