Developed by Kotaro Yoshida, known for directing Yuusha 30 and Hyakunin Yuusha, the game casts players as a witch who uses destruction magic to break through dungeon walls, taking shortcuts or forcing paths through obstacles. Items and rescued adventurers grant temporary power-ups such as increased bullet damage, faster reloads, and more bullets per shot. The Switch download version costs 980 yen, while the smartphone versions are 380 yen each. A launch sale on the Nintendo eShop discounts the Switch version 30 percent to 686 yen until June 30. Pre-orders for the Switch version began on June 4. The PC version, released on Steam in January 2025, has sold over 40,000 copies and holds a Very Positive user rating. Post-launch updates have added modes including an endless Infinite Dungeon, a Quick Destruction Challenge time attack, and a Hard Dungeon with stronger walls and enemies.","whyItMatters":"The console and mobile release of a Steam hit with over 40,000 sales and a Very Positive rating gives the game a second life on platforms with larger casual audiences, a strategy Phoenixx has used before to extend the reach of indie-scale titles.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe game is published by Phoenixx, a company that supports Japanese creators in reaching global audiences.
