    It was the Tang Dynasty    The kindhearted delinquent Kunio steps into the world of the famous tale, Journey to the West! Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, Tang Sanzang—all of the main characters are Kunio!! A wild, exhilarating comedy action adventure where they all set out for Tianzhu.

    It was the Tang Dynasty era. Demons ran rampant in this troubled world, offering no salvation. Sorrowed by such times, the Buddha established the “Journey to Fetch the Scriptures”—a quest to retrieve sacred texts from distant Tianzhu using Buddhist teachings to bring salvation.

    Meanwhile, buried beneath a mountain lay a monkey. His name was Sun Wukong. Sealed away by the Buddha for causing chaos in Heaven, 500 years were about to pass.

    Appearing before Wukong was the monk Tang Sanzang, who had set out on the Pilgrimage. The skilled Wukong became his disciple, joining the journey to protect Tang Sanzang and atone for his sins. Joined by the pig-like, cheerful and carefree Zhu Bajie and the earnest and serious monk Sha Wujing, Tang Sanzang and his party continue their journey westward today.

    The road to Tianzhu stretches a hundred thousand eight hundred miles. Now then, what kind of journey awaits them from here on out…?    … Expand

    As a roguelike, the game is naturally not designed to be completed just once. It will take hours of attempts and upgrades to reach the end, but even after finishing it, replayability remains high—not only due to the experimentation with various builds and the addictive quality typical of the best roguelikes, but also because the levels become more complex and a "true ending" can be unlocked by completing the game a second time.

    A very safe roguelite. It doesn't really intend to change anything, or to intrigue players with its builds. And this is a genre where you not only have a high difficulty level to keep players wanting to replay, but also provide variety that's tempting and guarantees something new. This one doesn't have that. Even bosses will also remain in their positions permanently. The combat is dynamic, enjoyable, and Kunio is as likable as ever, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an average roguelite.
