To free Japan from the grip of evil spirits, Bakeru's adventure to 47 Japanese prefectures begins.

In this 3D action game, take the role of the titular character Bakeru on an adventure through Japan's 47 prefectures to defeat the diabolical Festival Troops and restore peace. There will be battles featuring fairy tale heroes and giant robots. You can fight back using your taiko drum and if you get a Henge license, use the Tanuki's power of transformation to shapeshift into different forms.The game features the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of Japan, along with challenging stages that showcase the unique characteristics of each region.
