Twilight Parade: Moonlit Mononoke is an action and side-scrolling title for PC and consoles. The game is inspired by yokai folklore and sees four cute yokai girls shooting through yokai-infested streets on the night of the Hyakki Yagyō parade. It’s a bullet hell, shooter game packed with chaotic mayhem.

Blast through hordes of yokai

In Twilight Parade: Moonlit Mononoke, take control of one of the four Yokai Girls, each with their own personal assistant. You’ll then blast through five levels filled with angry yokai. At the end of each level, you’re going to have to beat a powerful boss to advance to the next.

The game shines in its beautiful pixel-art presentation that fits the retro aesthetic, but it falls short when it comes to gameplay mechanics, as it lacks any complexity and becomes too repetitive after playing it for a while. The levels are also very short and can be completed in one sitting.

Short, but fun

Overall, Twilight Parade: Moonlit Mononoke is a unique take on the bullet hell genre, as it mixes Japanese folklore into it. However, it’s only something that you’re going to play for some quick fun and to scratch the itch of blasting things up, since the game’s length is very short.
