A World of Beauty and Peril
The story of Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is set in a far-off mystic realm. The tranquil Shinju village is threatened by the evil Magatsu’s quest for domination, and his army of minions are spreading their evil influence across the land.
It is up to Towa, the priestess of Shinju, and her eight trustworthy companions to defeat Magatsu and restore peace.

A Symphony of Swords and Magic
This is a game of fast-paced, 2D isometric action. Before each quest, you will choose two of the eight unique guardians to take with you. One guardian will wield the power of the sacred sword (Tsurugi), and the other will be the bearer of the magical staff (Kagura). Each guardian has their own unique abilities and set of swords, making each combat style and guardian pair a unique experience.
Between your quests across different timelines, you will return to the hub world of Shinju Village, which will evolve over the years as you progress. Each visit is a chance to develop unique bonds with the residents, learn more about their customs, train at the dojo, summon powerful Graces, and, most importantly, craft new swords at the smithing shop.
From a Legendary Composer
The entire experience is brought to life with a stunning, hand-drawn art style and gorgeous, painterly scenery. This is all accompanied by a unique soundtrack from the legendary composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, who is best known for his incredible work on masterpieces like Final Fantasy XII and Vagrant Story.
