Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree

Achievements
The world hangs in the balance as the evil Magatsu threatens the land with just the young priestess Towa and her eight companions standing in his way. TOWA AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE SACRED TREE features engaging game play with fast-paced action, gorgeous characters in a hand-drawn style and stunning scenery reminiscing of the warmth of Japanese ink painting, and a unique soundtrack by composer Hitoshi Sakimoto. Players choose two Guardians to venture on each quest - one guardian wields the power of the sacred sword called Tsurugi and the other is the bearer of the magical staff Kagura. Each guardian has unique skillsets that can be unlocked and upgraded both inside the dungeons and through a meta-progression in the hub world of Shinju Village. As the guardians pursue their quests across different timelines, the village will evolve over the years. Players develop unique bonds with residents and learn more about their customs and stories that are woven into the inner workings of the village. Ultimately, they must fight together through these colorful lands, conquer dungeons, and defeat Magatsu’s minions to restore peace to the land.
