About
Kadokawa Games was established as a subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation to handle the group's video game publishing and development. The company is well-known for publishing niche Japanese RPGs and strategy games, including collaborations with developers like Experience Inc. In 2022, its president Yoshimi Yasuda departed to form Dragami Games, taking several intellectual properties with him.
The company's early portfolio includes involvement with the PlayStation Portable release Me & My Katamari (2006) and its subsequent Me & My Katamari [The Best] (2006) budget re-release. Over the following decade, the studio expanded its reach through strategic partnerships and internal production, focusing heavily on localized releases for global audiences.
A major milestone occurred with the release of the dungeon-crawler Demon Gaze (2013) in Japan, which saw international localization as Demon Gaze (2014), including a Demon Gaze [Limited Edition] (2014) release. This title established a strong presence on the PlayStation Vita platform. Concurrently, the developer ventured into tactical role-playing games with Natural Doctrine (2014), which received a Natural Doctrine [Collector's Edition] (2014) release alongside its standard launch. These projects defined the studio's mid-2010s output, characterized by challenging gameplay mechanics and distinct anime-influenced art styles. Through these efforts, the developer maintained a consistent output of specialized titles across handheld and home consoles.
