• Yuzuriha is known for her active skill ‘Ninja Art: Line Cutting,’ which grants a buff that increases her Attack and Critical Hit Rate. Upon a successful Critical Hit Attack, she grants a buff to her allies that enhances final Weakness Attack damage, and the enemies under her Critical Hit Attack gain a Poison debuff. 
• Sagiri’s active skill ‘Quietly… Intensely…’ removes all buffs from the target upon a successful attack while also decreasing the enemy’s Attack. When Sagiri deals a successful Critical Hit Attack, she grants a buff to increase Weakness Attach Rate of her allies. Targets hit by her Critical Hit Attack obtains a Bleed debuff. 

Players can have the opportunity to obtain Yuzuriha and Sagiri through the Hell’s Paradise Challenger Pass, which opens on August 1 and lasts until August 28. Hell’s Paradise Rate Up Summon will also be available during the same period, offering Hell’s Paradise Hero Selection Tickets. Players can also join the Hell’s Paradise Special Check-In Event for a chance to earn a Hell’s Paradise character simply by logging into the game during the event period (August 1 – 28). 

Based on their flagship franchise and the successor to the original Seven Knights game, SEVEN KNIGHTS IDLE ADVENTURE has been reimagined as an idle RPG. Developed with low capacity and low specification devices in mind with a guiding principle of easy playability, players will experience an expanded storyline with previously untold episodes of the original Seven Knights heroes. Collect and nurture returning fan-favorites who have been reborn as cute SD characters.

Embody the kitsune kaizo spirit and become a mythological messenger of legend

SAN FRANCISCO – August 1, 2024 – Kitsune Tails, the platformer styled after beloved classics and steeped in Japanese mythology developed by Kitsune Games (Kitsune Zero / Super Bernie World) and published by MidBoss™ (Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER), bestows the power of the fabled fox spirit to PC via Steam today! Console versions are in development for Q1 2025.

Guide young half-fox/half-human messenger Yuzu (voiced by Kira Buckland, the voice of NieR: Automata’s 2B) through worlds flowing with legendary Japanese folklore. As the herald of the god Inari, Yuzu must run, jump, and collect powerups in an experience that draws inspiration from the golden age of 8-bit platforming, replicating its feel but with modern quality-of-life features.

Become a snowfox, run on water wearing a shark onesie, and more to master an elemental wheel of options. Leap over hurdles of the heart in an LGBTQ+-themed story and help Yuzu rescue her imprisoned love interest Akko from magical captivity. Why did Yuzu’s childhood friend-turned-rival Kiri imprison her, anyway? 

Play minigames uncovered throughout the world map, including a 3D maze adventure built in the same hand-crafted engine as Kitsune Tails. Expand on the experience by crafting your own levels with the free Tiled Map Editor, and create minigames using a simple but powerful Lua scripting system.

“Yuzu’s tale is so dear to our hearts,” said Eniko Fox, Founder, Kitsune Games. “We’re so excited to not only share with you all her story, but to see what the community creates in return. We see our community’s passion and want to foster that creativity with an accessible set of game-design tools. Kitsune Tails is just the start — we can’t wait to see where the community takes things from here.”
