The areas you visit change with each run, as do the treasures, challenges, and secrets you encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retla\u2019s weapons of choice are her dual blades, which let her pull off flashy combos and evade with high-speed movements. As you progress, you\u2019ll unlock new abilities, weapons, and upgrades that you can carry into succeeding runs to fine-tune your playstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eternal Palace Sakura\u2019s free demo includes a basic tutorial that introduces you to the game\u2019s combat system. Several unique enemies allow you to test your mettle, while powerful items enhance your abilities and provide buffs. A boss fight is also included in the final level. The latest iteration of the demo includes enhanced visuals and an improved UI design, more precise hit reactions, and new content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"609\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260930-470779-001-1080x609-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260930-470779-001-1080x609-1.webp 1080w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260930-470779-001-1080x609-1-380x214.webp 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260930-470779-001-1080x609-1-768x433.webp 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the devs, the full release will include over 20 enemy characters (including new \u201cOni\u201d-type opponents), over 50 enhancement items, random event rooms, and an endless mode with infinite levels to clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Eternal Palace Sakura crowdfunding campaign on Campfire currently has 119,300 JPY funded out of its 500,000 JPY goal, with the money going to the game&#8217;s production and shipping of supporter goods.
