Tales of the Tanuki: Way of the Draw is a pixel-art quick-draw arcade game where patience and reflexes decide every duel. Wait for the signal, draw your sword before your opponent, and face increasingly faster foes as you journey through time in Campaign, New Game+ and Endless modes.
The signal appears. Two warriors stand ready. Only one will strike first.
Tales of the Tanuki: Way of the Draw is a pixel-art quick-draw game built around reaction time, patience and timing. Take control of a fearless tanuki and journey through time, facing an evolving roster of warriors in increasingly dangerous duels.
Every duel begins with a standoff. Stay focused and wait for the signal to draw — then strike before your opponent can react.
But don't get impatient. Draw too soon and you'll commit a false start. Make too many mistakes and your opponent will get the opportunity they need to strike you down.
Battle your way through different phases of the tanuki's journey, encountering new opponents and environments as you progress. Your enemies become faster and more dangerous, demanding quicker reactions as you work toward the ultimate duel.
Campaign — Follow the tanuki's journey and fight your way through the full sequence of increasingly challenging duels.
New Game+ — Return to the journey against faster opponents and put the skills you've developed to the test.
Endless — See how long you can survive as you continue facing opponents and chase a higher score.
