About the game

"Oedo x Zombie x Rogue-like" A rogue-like action where traditional Japanese characters (Samurai, Sumo Wrestler, and Ninja) destroy hordes of zombies. Since everything is randomly generated, no run will be the same. Decision making will be essential but there are some RPG elements as well.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 15 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

It has been discounted 29 times in the 5 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. On the same math The Last Stand: Aftermath ($24.99, scores 53) and West of Dead ($3.99, scores 29) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Developed by LANCARSE and published by D3PUBLISHER, the game imagines an alternate Edo-era Japan where the nation's isolation is violently disrupted by a mysterious undead outbreak. Rather than leaning into historical realism, the game...
