Play Yokai Douchuuki) Online
You wander through Edo-era Japan smacking yokai with talismans—some look adorable until they try to eat you. The lantern-lit villages and creepy forests make every screen feel like stepping into a haunted painting.
Yokai Douchuuki came out in 1987 as an arcade game from Namco. It belongs to that era of side-scrolling action titles where you explore screen by screen, with a strong focus on atmosphere and methodical pacing. The setting draws from Japanese folklore, placing you in a world filled with supernatural creatures and traditional environments.
You control a young boy who must traverse haunted villages and forests, fighting yokai by throwing ofuda talismans. Your main goal is to progress through each area, defeating enemies and avoiding traps. Signature mechanics include screen-by-screen exploration, where you clear one section before moving to the next, and the use of different talismans for combat. The game moves deliberately, and the difficulty can be unforgiving, with enemies appearing suddenly and patterns that require patience to learn. It feels tense and immersive, like navigating a folktale where every step could bring danger.
