From Bandai Namco:
Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree features engaging game play with fast-paced action, gorgeous hand-drawn style characters, stunning painterly scenery, and a unique soundtrack by legendary composer Hitoshi Sakimoto. These come together to create a colorful world where visually peaceful splendor belies a lurking threat, and where courage is the only way forward. Set in distant lands, the tranquil Shinju village is threatened by the evil Magatsu’s quest for domination. Towa, the priestess of Shinju Village, stands united with eight unique, trustworthy and adorable companions to defeat Magatsu and his evil minions.
Players choose two Guardians to venture forth on each quest - one guardian wields the power of the sacred sword called Tsurugi and the other is the bearer of the magical staff Kagura. Each guardian has unique skillsets that can be unlocked and upgraded as players explore dungeons or progress by interacting with villagers in the hub world of Shinju Village. Beyond each Guardian’s abilities, players can find various crafting materials to forge and upgrade their swords, making each combat style and guardian pair unique. As the guardians pursue their quests across different timelines, the village will evolve over the years. Players develop unique bonds with residents and learn more about their customs and stories that are woven into the inner workings of the village. Ultimately, they must fight together through these colorful lands, conquer dungeons, and defeat Magatsu’s minions to restore peace to the land.
