Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree manages to combine emotion and strategy in a unique experience. Its deep narrative and the dilemmas posed by the sacrifice system give real weight to the player's decisions, while the variety of combinations between Tsurugi and Kagura keeps the combat dynamic and interesting. The evolution of the Shinju village complements the gameplay well, offering moments of respite between battles in what is one of the most remarkable experiences of the genre in 2025.

While not a grandstand-level roguelite experience, there's a lot of charm and decent action, alongside an amazing Hitoshi Sakimoto score, that elevates Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree apart from the dozens of roguelite isometric clones out there. It tries hard with its minigames and multitude of power-up and permanent buff mechanics, but it's earnestly done and helps more than bloats and hinders the overall 8-hour-or-so-long fantasy package.
Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a very fun rogue-like game, and it's even among the most enjoyable I've had the opportunity to play this year.
