Bakeru battles the evil-doing festival troops in various regions of Japan, using his taiko drum. He uses a stick that looks like a drumstick as his weapon, and his attack methods change as he transforms into different heroes from old Japanese fairytales such as Momotaro and Kintaro. Transforming into Momotaro gives him a gun-like long-range attack, and transforming into Kintaro gives him powerful axe-wielding moves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game seems to offer a variety of different stages, one of which appears to be a scrolling-shooter stage. The trailer mentions that there are epic battles between giant robots in store as well. One of the stages is the Gion Festival in Kyoto, where there appear to be some kind of collectible items titled \u201csouvenirs\u201d and &#8220;knowledge.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1312px) 100vw, 1312px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19676\" width=\"1065\" height=\"618\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1312\" height=\"734\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1312px) 100vw, 1312px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002.jpg 1312w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002-600x336.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002-696x389.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002-1068x597.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230621-252868-002-751x420.jpg 751w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Good Feel, the developer of this title, is a Japanese studio that has worked on many Nintendo titles, including Yoshi&#8217;s Crafted World and Kirby\u2019s Extra Epic Yarn.
