For around 50 years after the First Sino-Japanese war up until the end of World War II, Taiwan was under the control of Japan. As Japan\u2019s losses mounted in WWII, Taiwan was also caught up in the war and subject to indiscriminate bombing from Allied forces. This attack is known as the Raid on Taipei (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raid_on_Taipei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>). This air raid is the theme of the game as players take on the role of Kiyoko Lin, a young girl searching for her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kiyoko wakes up in a place covered with dead bodies. She\u2019s wearing the uniform of the prestigious Taipei First Girls High School but can\u2019t remember what happened or where her family is. Along with a dog named Kuro, she tries to escape the bombing while running into other characters and learning more about the state of Taiwan.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"380\" height=\"380\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-001-380x380.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-001-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-001-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-001-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-001-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-001-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-001.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"380\" height=\"380\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-002-380x380.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-002-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-002-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-002-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-002-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-002-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195716-002.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The game features a number of characters such as Judy, a Taiwanese girl who steals to survive.

There\u2019s also Takeda, a Japanese person who follows Catholicism. <em>Raid on Taihoku<\/em> seems to bring together people with complicated backgrounds to paint a detailed picture of what Taiwan was like under Japanese rule.

They\u2019ve released games such as <em>Run Animals, Run!<\/em>, <em>Raid on Takao<\/em>, and <em>Frenemy Pastry Party<\/em>. <em>Raid on Taihoku<\/em> was also made as a boardgame but is now being turned into a video game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much has been revealed about the gameplay, but from what we can tell by the game\u2019s Steam page and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mizoriot\">official Twitter account<\/a>, there looks to be adventure sections where players talk to numerous characters and top-down action sections. The action sections look to involve things like running away from bombings and using an umbrella to block rocks thrown by bullies. It looks like a number of past buildings and structures are going to appear in the game as well, such as the Taiwan Grand Shrine which was destroyed. The game looks to deliver a realistic atmosphere of war and the human emotions that come with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u300a\u53f0\u5317\u5927\u7a7a\u8972\u300b\u96fb\u73a9\u4e3b\u984c\u66f2Teaser\uff1a\u7d42\u6230 - \u912d\u5b9c\u8fb2\uff08\u65e5\u6587\u5b57\u5e55\u7248\uff09\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/09QnX-anZV8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Raid on Taihoku<\/em> can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1901950\/Raid_on_Taihoku\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> on Steam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raid on Taihoku is a survival game set in WWII-era Taiwan, when Taiwan was under the control of Japan.
