Description
Follow the Spirit Trail and fight it out against fearsome yōkai in this match-3 battle game! Swap tiles to trigger attacks and unleash powerful abilities. Along the way, learn about each yōkai you encounter as you fill out your codex. In Spirit Trail, battles are fought by matching tiles. Each tile is linked to a hero; swap their tile to make them attack and unleash powerful abilities that can shift the momentum of the fight! On your journey, you’ll face 8 different yōkai. Each has their own attacks and requires a unique strategy to overcome. Some hit hard, others defend or disrupt your board. Success on the Trail means learning the yōkai's attacks, planning your matches, and choosing the right team for the fight. After each victory, you’ll unlock a codex entry revealing a bit more about the yōkai you just defeated.
