About this game

In Juuouki, Zeus calls upon a fearless warrior to rescue his daughter Athena from Nelf, the evil Lord of the Underworld. Risen from the grave with supernatural powers, the warrior battles demonic enemies while collecting mystical spirit balls.

Spirit balls enable transformations into powerful forms, including Strongman, WereWolf, WereTiger, and Bear, each offering a different way to overcome the terrors of the Underworld.
