Matsushita Games has today (October 10, 2025) launched the free demo for its upcoming title “Mugen Sakura Tower,” scheduled for release in Q1 2026, on Steam.
Steam “Mugen Sakura Tower”
“Mugen Sakura Tower” is a rogue-lite 3D action game where players control Retra, a cat-eared hooded girl who wields dual swords, as she ventures through a dreamlike dungeon. The game stands out for its anime-style characters and animations, as well as flashy battle sequences.
After hearing rumors of the “Mugen Sakura Tower”—a legendary structure said to grant divine relics to those who overcome its trials—Retra arrives in the far-eastern nation of Oulan. Finally reaching her destination, she steps inside… only to find herself trapped within. Now, Retra must conquer each trial and unravel the tower’s mysteries.
