Play Youkai Buster - Ruka no Daibouken Online
Swing Ruka’s sword through haunted temples, dodging goofy umbrella spirits and creepier youkai—those SNES controls make every slash and jump feel just right.
Game Overview
Youkai Buster - Ruka no Daibouken is one of those SNES games that slipped under the radar but absolutely shouldn’t have. You play as Ruka, a youkai hunter who’s basically the coolest ghostbuster you’ve never heard of—swinging a sword, tossing magic, and diving into haunted forests and temples packed with spirits that range from goofy to genuinely unsettling.
The controls feel just right—snappy jumps, satisfying sword slashes—and the art style nails this weirdly charming mix of spooky and cartoonish. Some of the youkai designs are hilarious (wait till you see the umbrella one), while others will make you hesitate before charging in. It’s got that classic "die a few times, learn the patterns, then dominate" rhythm that makes retro games so addictive.
Oh, and the music? Pure 16-bit atmosphere, all eerie flutes and driving beats that fit the ghost-hunting vibe perfectly. If you’re into obscure action-platformers with personality, this one’s a blast.
