Labyrinth of Zangetsu

This is an action-adventure game in which players lead characters on a quest to stop a blight across ancient Japan. Players explore dungeon-like environments and battle stylized creatures (e.g., demons, ink-stained creatures, shadows) in turn-based combat. Players choose actions from a menu (e.g., attack, parry, magic) to battle enemies; attacks are accompanied by sword slashes and screen-shaking effects. Characters sometimes emit splashes of black liquid/ink when hit; one hand-drawn sequence depicts black splatters around bodies, and a hand smeared with black liquid. The word “damn” appears in the game.
