The Oni Tamer Game Yami Kids Launches Today



From the developers Yanako RPG's and GameDevTosh comes a new monster taming RPG where you train and capture Oni in the game Yami kids, available on PC.

Here is what the devs shared about the game

About:

Yami Kids is a monster tamer built around losing. Twins Yuki and Yuumi Yami grew up in the Slums, the bottom floor of a city so vast that most people who live there have never seen daylight, and everything the floors above throw away ends up at their door. They have nothing but the Oni they contract, and a shadowy organisation has spent years hunting the Yami family line. Then comes the night they lose. The signature Shadow Duels happen only after dark, against real rival Contractors, and defeat does not send you back to the last town. It drags you into the Underworld, and the deal you strike to get home stays with you all the way to the ending.


The launch closes a year that began on Kickstarter, where Yami Kids reached its goal in five days and went on to raise $17,910 from 481 backers, 256% of what it asked for. It joins Dokimon Quest, the studio's retro monster taming RPG, available now on Steam, while the sequel Dokimon Quest II is announced and open for wishlisting.

"In most monster games, losing just means waking up back in town like nothing happened. I wanted one where losing actually costs you something, starring two kids who have nobody coming to save them," says Yano of Yanako RPGs. "481 people backed Yami Kids before there was even a demo to play. They believed in Yuki and Yuumi from the very beginning, and today I finally get to hand them the whole game. This one's for them, and for anyone who ever wished their monster game had a little more darkness in it.”


KEY FEATURES

  • SUMMON 80+ Oni and build a team out of the spirits of the Underworld.

  • DUEL after dark in Shadow Duels, where losing is not a game over - it drags you below, and the bargain you make to get back follows the story to its ending.

  • PLAY as twins Yuki and Yuumi, born five minutes apart and raised in the Slums.

  • EXPLORE the world above and the Underworld beneath it, each with its own rules.

  • EXPERIENCE a deliberately darker take on monster taming, in the lineage of Shin Megami Tensei: DemiKids and Yu-Gi-Oh.

  • SET your own pace with four save slots, autosave, full controller remapping and an adjustable battle speed toggle along other customization settings.
