The archetypal web app-based strategy experience and darling of emerging smartphones.
The great-uncle once-removed of today’s idle clickers.
It’s a stately, beautiful thing.

Thank goodness it’s out (onSteamandthe Xbox store) in just a month or so’s time.
Kanitsu-Gami doesn’t look like a tower defender and I very much doubt it was actually conceived as one.
It’s not always a good idea to have Yoshiro advance continuously when the sun is up, either.

Equally, if you’re feeling confident you might fast-forward the seconds till dusk.
You’ll also have the chance to talk to Yoshiro, offering her sweets in return for power-ups.
Where could Kanitsu-Gami lose its way?

It’s not that these are bad.
But for the moment, let me bask in the glow of this game.
I wanted to keep playing because it felt like sanctuary.
