Play Youkai Buster - Ruka no Daibouken (Japan) Online
You play as Ruka, whipping out different weapons and seals to trap rowdy spirits—some go down with a slash, others need perfect timing or they'll wreck you. The chunky sprites and chiptune soundtrack give it that classic SNES charm.
Game Overview
Youkai Buster - Ruka no Daibouken is one of those SNES games that makes you wonder how it slipped under the radar. You play as Ruka, a youkai hunter who’s basically the Ghostbusters’ cooler, more stylish cousin—she’s got a whole arsenal of weapons and magical seals to trap rowdy spirits, and she isn’t afraid to use them.
The first thing you’ll notice? The sprites are bursting with personality. Every youkai has this exaggerated, almost cartoony look, like they jumped straight out of an old folktale. And the music? Those chiptune tracks stick in your head way longer than they should.
Gameplay’s a mix of Mega Man-style platforming and figuring out which weapon or seal works best against each monster. Some youkai go down easy with a quick slash, others need a well-timed trap—mess up, and you’ll be retrying that stage a few times. It’s tough but never feels cheap, just the right kind of challenge for anyone who misses when SNES games had bite.
If you’re into obscure 16-bit action with a heavy dose of Japanese folklore, this one’s a blast. Just don’t blame me when you start humming the boss theme for days.
