“Doomsday land defense adventure” game MOCHI-O will launch for PC via Steam on January 19, publisher Kodansha and developer Zxima announced. iOS and Android versions are also planned, but were not dated.
“MOCHI-O’s a comedic, lighthearted take on the end of the world with a ‘gentle doomsday’ aesthetic, but its cuteness is matched by its gameplay depth,” said developer Zximia in a press release. “The nurturing system leads to many different metas and playstyles, with plenty of content for newcomers to the genre as well as for tower defense aficionados.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Kodansha:
Meet MOCHI-O, the world’s cutest doomsday defense system! Foster fur-ocious firepower, raising a weapon of mass destruction that gains combat prowess through positive affirmations, cuddles, and a steady diet of seeds. Unravel a warm story filled with good-humored banter, keeping things light in a post-apocalyptic world.
Unleash destructive havoc against incoming threats to save the nation from collapse. Grab the tiny hamster, point it towards approaching enemies, and watch MOCHI-O obliterate approaching enemy ships with its ever-evolving abilities in tower defense-style combat.
Outfit MOCHI-O with various weapons and abilities, and feast on bundles of seeds dropped by defeated foes to gain XP. Collect enough seeds to level up MOCHI-O’s base attributes, like firing rate, crit chance, attack range, and cooldown reductions to create a custom playstyle.
As the caretaker’s bond with MOCHI-O increases, so does its firepower! Outside of battle, encourage MOCHI-O with pets, feeding, and decorate its room to create an ideal environment for bonding to unlock upgrades and new weapons.
