“BAKUDO offers a hyperstylized take on the boss rush genre that mixes furious combat clashes with an anime aesthetic of sports academies into something wholly unique,” said Jonathan Wang, producer at Shueisha Games. “In BAKUDO, it’s not about winning or losing—it’s your unshakable conviction that changes everything.”
