Games Like Ouka Exorcists: Night Parade

A Japanese-folklore survivors-like with a story to tell

On the night of the spring festival, the moon turns red and the Hyakki Yagyō — the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons — floods into Ouka Town. Your weapons fire on their own; you weave through the horde, dash through gaps and unleash full-screen ultimates. Between waves, pick upgrades and shop at the shrine stall. A run is 20 waves, about 20 minutes, and no two builds play the same.

Six exorcists, six ways to play

Each has her own passive, starting weapon and ultimate. Raise bonds to Lv10 for alternate colors, an awakened passive and a festival CG.

Build your school

Two stages, four bosses

Fight through Ouka Shrine and the Misty Bamboo Grove. Each stage has a mid-boss on wave 10 — the spider woman Jorogumo and the thunder beast Nue, each with her own bullet patterns — and a final boss: Tamamo-no-Mae, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the Great Tengu. Elites with affixes, wave events like the lucky-cat chase and the Night Parade march, three difficulties, five Seal levels on top of the hardest one, and an endless mode.

Rebuild the shrine

Bring sakura petals home from every run and restore Ouka Shrine building by building. Unlock alternate starting weapons, blessings, tea-time talks, a yokai bestiary, a goshuin stamp book and 30 ema challenges — and watch the withered thousand-year sakura slowly come back into bloom.

A visual-novel story

A fully illustrated prologue, three episodes for each of the four heroines, an interlude ending, and join episodes for Ibaraki and Suzu — with event CGs, character portraits and expressions.

Original Japanese-style soundtrack

Koto, shamisen, shakuhachi and taiko meet modern arrangements.
