About

FuRyu is a Japanese developer and publisher that produced several role-playing games and anime adaptations in the early 2010s. Their portfolio includes RPGs like Unchained Blades EXXiV and Exstetra, as well as licensed titles based on popular franchises such as Cardfight!! Vanguard, To Love-Ru Darkness, Yuki Yuna is a Hero, and The Prince of Tennis.

During the early 2010s, the company established a distinct niche on handheld consoles, particularly the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita. The dungeon crawler Unchained Blades EXXiV (2012) served as a high-profile sequel featuring collaborative design work from various prominent industry artists. This was followed by Exstetra (2013), an original role-playing game centered on a world-saving savior mechanic.

Simultaneously, the developer leveraged popular media franchises to create dedicated gaming adaptations. For card game enthusiasts, they released Cardfight Vanguard: Ride to Victory (2013) and its sequel Cardfight Vanguard: Lock on Victory (2014), which simulated the trading card game's mechanics on the Nintendo 3DS. On the PlayStation Vita, the company targeted anime fans with To Love-Ru Trouble Darkness: Battle Ecstasy (2014)—which also received a To Love-Ru Trouble Darkness: Battle Ecstasy [Limited Edition] (2014) release featuring exclusive collectible bonuses—alongside the action-adventure title Yuuki Yuuna Wa Yuusha de Aru: Jukai no Kioku (2015). They also catered to sports anime audiences with the adventure game Shin Tennis no Oji-Sama: Go to the Top (2015), expanding their reach across diverse fan demographics.
