Our take on Minako
The game shifts part of tower defense into village management: success depends on observing villagers and matching their attributes and skills to gathering or combat roles across 30 nights.
What is Minako?
Minako combines castle defense with villager management across 30 nights.
Players hire local villagers and assign them jobs by considering their strength, dexterity, intelligence, and individual skills. These choices cover work such as gathering wood or iron and placing villagers on the front lines of battle. Strength may suit both resource collection and combat, but the game also asks players to observe each villager and develop their own approach to assigning roles.
