Youkai Douchuuki

Tarosuke has died and now must cross the purgatory as depicted in Buddhist lore, fighting enemies and advancing in his path towards ultimate redemption.

Enemies can be defeated by the use of a ki-based projectile attack and, once defeated, monsters leave behind money which can be exchanged in-game for health and other This assessment focuses on the specific FC or NES release and on the play actions, goals, and progression documented for Youkai Douchuuki.
