In this installment, there is a Sugoroku themed around the old Japan, with various events triggered by the squares you land on. Work together with other players to defeat yokai, and aim for the jackpot. As you progress in the game, you can enhance your abilities with various upgrades.
The cooperative multiplayer mode allows up to four players to team up and take on challenging mini-games. These include battles against increasingly powerful yokai, as well as events like volcanic eruptions that require coordinated efforts from the group. Players praised the satisfying feeling of working together to overcome these obstacles and earn greater rewards.
A unique aspect of the gameplay is the Sugoroku board game-inspired progression system. Players advance along a board based on the Tokaido Fifty-Three Stations, collecting dice that appear and triggering various events depending on the squares they land on. Reviewers noted that this adds an element of strategy, as they must carefully consider their moves to optimize their progress and encounters along the board.
As players progress, they can unlock and upgrade a variety of abilities to enhance their coin pushing performance. These include Gatling guns, auxiliary launchers, and improvements to attack power and firing speed. Additionally, players can customize the appearance of their in-game pieces and launchers, allowing for a degree of personalization that many found enjoyable.
Collecting a wide variety of Edo-period-themed prizes is a core part of the gameplay loop. The more prizes players are able to collect, the greater the rewards they receive upon reaching the end of the Sugoroku board. Reviewers highlighted this sense of progression and the desire to complete the collection as a strong motivator to keep pushing coins and exploring the game's content.
