Fahrenheit 213 has announced that it will hold a combat-focused closed beta test for TSURUGIHIME from August 25 to September 6. Applications for the test are now available.
According to the developers, the beta contains “no story, no exploration, and no progression systems—only combat. Players get the full set of core battle actions that define the game, isolated so that the moment-to-moment feel can be judged on its own terms. The test build wraps that combat in a five-minute survival mode. Enemies spawn without end, and the run scores you on how many you can put down before the clock runs out. Scores climb sharply once players find the right combinations, so the mode doubles as a feedback instrument and a leaderboard chase.”
TSURUGIHIME is currently planned to release in 2026 for PC in Steam Early Access. Lastly, here’s an overview of TSURUGIHIME, via Steam:
