Our take on Labyrinth of Zangetsu
Its detailed hero customisation and positional combat trade simplicity for tactical control. The front-and-back formation adds meaningful party decisions, but players looking for a lighter dungeon crawl may find team management and labyrinth exploration demanding.
What is Labyrinth of Zangetsu?
Set in the moonlit Ido period, this dungeon crawler follows a team of warriors confronting the Ink of Ruin and the yokai within its labyrinths.
Players recruit and customise heroes by adjusting their stats and abilities, then arrange them across front and back positions. Front-line members focus on attacks, while rear allies provide defence. Exploration moves through winding environments illustrated with ink-brush-inspired artwork, with torii gates and other landmarks appearing along the way. The narrative includes side quests and lore about the disaster, the ruined land, and the folklore-based creatures encountered in its depths.
