Tenjutsu is a brutal combat roguelike where you punch, kick and slash your way through four crime syndicates to save Secret Garden City, one bloody encounter at a time.

Tenjutsu drops you into Secret Garden City, a cramped and colourful place that’s fallen under the thumb of four crime syndicates. You’re stuck there in a kind of purgatory, and the only way out is to fight your way through every last one of them using proper martial arts skill and a solid arsenal of weapons.

The combat is fast, brutal and unforgiving. Every scrap feels like it could be your last, so you’ll need to get properly good with your fists, blades and whatever else you pick up along the way, stacking upgrades and techniques as you go to break the syndicates’ grip on the city.

What we really like is the freedom to choose your own path. Take on syndicates in whatever order suits you, hitting some early while they’re weak and leaving others to grow stronger the longer you wait. As you clear each one out, the city itself starts to heal, with new shops, shortcuts and areas opening up to reward the way you play. It’s a roguelike where your choices genuinely reshape the world around you.
