We are an independent indie team from Japan, deeply passionate about sharing the richness of traditional Japanese culture, local gourmet, and our deeply cherished heritage with players all around the world through creative gaming experiences.
Following its successful launch late last year, we would love to share that our unique cultural casual action mobile game, "WamojiSword", is currently available worldwide on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
■ About "WamojiSword"
"WamojiSword" offers an innovative cultural experience where players weaponize Japanese characters (Kanji) to unleash powerful combat styles.
The game’s core mechanic features a special logic inspired by traditional Japanese naming culture (such as Onomancy/fortune-telling through names). By analyzing the player's own name or nickname, the game unlocks "Kaiun" (Good Fortune) to enhance the sword's hidden abilities. Throughout their journey, players collect and blend over 2,000 Joyo Kanji (everyday Japanese characters) to enjoy highly customized, unique attack styles based on the meaning of each character.
Furthermore, upon clearing stages, players are rewarded with a rich variety of Japan’s treasures, spanning from gorgeous traditional artisan crafts and mouth-watering local gourmet delicacies to fascinating cultural icons. Beyond being a simple collection system, the game allows players to dive into the historical background, stories, and cultural value of each treasure, providing a deeply enriching intellectual experience.
