Yokai Meikyu: Maze Defense

Samurai, shinobi, shrine maidens and onmyoji storm the labyrinth night after night. You are Nurarihyon, lord of the yokai. Survive in the deepest chamber until dawn.

■ Dig the labyrinth Carve rooms and corridors freely, and move the gate farther away to lengthen the hunters' route. Confuse them with forks and dead ends — that's the mark of a true lord.

■ Yokai defend their rooms Red Oni, Karakasa, Onibi, Kappa, Yuki-onna, Kyubi, Gashadokuro... The yokai you house in each room brawl with any hunter who walks in. Fallen yokai revive at dawn.

■ Stack to evolve Stack 3 of the same yokai to evolve it into a stronger form. Rooms such as the Shrine, Hot Spring, Graveyard and Treasury evolve when stacked too, and neighboring rooms boost each other.

■ Raise your lord The more hunters fall, the higher your lord's rank, unlocking skills like Kanashibari, Onibi Rain and Night Parade Call. Use your lord's power to escape a tight spot.

■ Every night is different At dawn, choose a reward, collect relics, and meet crossroads encounters and a wandering peddler. Every fifth night, the Exorcist Shogun appears. Survive Night 15, and beyond lies an endless Night Parade.

■ Grow stronger through the Summoning Rite Spend the stones you bring back on the Summoning Rite. Pick 1 of 3 candidates to gradually gain new yokai, traps and rooms, heirlooms that grow stronger as you stack them, and handy features like faster game speed.

• Summons use stones. The odds for each candidate (Mythic 3% · Rare 22% · Common 75%) are shown on the summoning screen.

■ Gifts every day A daily login bonus and seasonal gifts — New Year, Halloween, Christmas and more — bring you stones for the Summoning Rite.

■ Perfect for players who

• Love dungeon management and tower defense
• Want a roguelite you can play one short night at a time
• Enjoy yokai, traditional Japanese atmosphere and pixel art
