Gurei

Gurei follows Rei, a human spirit tasked with defeating the Kami, mystical entities of nature, and taking their powers. The Kami inhabit a surreal castle between the human and spirit worlds. After each victory, Rei draws closer to the spirit realm and encounters peculiar characters from Japanese mythology, who provide commentary, side objectives and obscure secrets.

Choose your path

You can fight the Kami in any order. Their strength changes according to the path you choose, so the same Kami can be an early enemy on one route and the final boss on another. You can return to challenges and try a different approach.

Fight the Kami

Rei uses sword attacks, dodges, head stomps and other basic abilities. Each defeated Kami grants her a new skill, such as a stronger dash, a weapon that can execute enemies or the ability to heal. With distinct enemy patterns and skills earned through victories, you choose how to tackle each fight.

Carry their voices

When Rei defeats a Kami, she absorbs its power and personality. The defeated Kami accompany her and comment as she travels. Their remarks can offer useful information about the lore and game mechanics, though some are less helpful.
