In Tokyo Clanpool, players dive into the heart of a dystopian Tokyo where a colossal tower mysteriously appears, connecting the Reverse City in the sky to Japan’s National Diet Building. As the newly inaugurated Prime Minister Natsume Kannuki, you lead a team of young heroines known as the Diet Dolls into the depths of this tower. This dungeon RPG features mazelike corridors navigated in an old-school first-person perspective, with strategic turn-based combat that keeps you on your toes. Equip your characters with Digiskins to customize their skills and abilities, adding a layer of depth to the dungeon exploration and battles against the monstrous threats that lurk within.

Players must also manage the approval ratings of their citizens, which adds a unique political twist to the gameplay. Positive ratings can grant valuable bonuses, while low support might lead to your cabinet’s resignation. The dynamic dungeons allow for creative strategies, such as altering the dungeon structure by floating or digging tunnels. Engage in battles using special attacks like Sacred Union to gain an advantage over powerful enemies.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Another creepy weeb dungeon crawler. If it's actually good, I'm interested, but these things can be pretty hit or miss.
