＜About the Game “TRIBE NINE”＞

▶︎STORY

It’s the year 20XX.

A mysterious masked man “Zero,” who controls Neo Tokyo, declared his intention to transform the country into “a country where everything is decided by games.” His invention, “Extreme Games” (or “XG” for short), is now the rule of Neo Tokyo.

However, the merciless rules of XG treat people’s lives like toys, plunging the citizens of Neo Tokyo into horrifying situations.

To rebel against Zero’s control, a group of teenagers have formed a resistance organization.
Armed with techniques and gear from their beloved “XB (Extreme Baseball),” they bravely engage in fierce battles alongside friends, overcoming any obstacles to reclaim their stolen dreams and freedom.

 

▶︎BATTLE

In TRIBE NINE, you’ll battle in a 3-man team.

Each playable character has their unique characteristics, which is reflected in their skills and actions, allowing you to experience various playstyles depending on the character.

Additionally, your team members will intelligently adapt to each situation and support you in battle. They can draw enemy aggression, heal your wounds, and coordinate powerful attacks with your controlled character to turn the tide of combat.

A variety of strategies can be employed depending on your team composition. We encourage you to experiment with different strategies to discover your own winning tactics!

In Neo Tokyo, a city filled with powerful enemies, you’ll face repeated defeats until you devise a strategy to seize victory. Don’t miss out on experiencing these exciting battles for yourself.

 

▶︎XB (Extreme Baseball)

In TRIBE NINE, “XB (Extreme Baseball)” is one of the game’s biggest features and is a special battle mode that is very different from regular battles.

“XB” is the characters’ beloved dueling method, featured in high-impact 3D cutscenes. Get ready for these thrilling clashes between souls.

 

▶︎EXPLORATION

Progress through TRIBE NINE’s story by controlling your character and exploring Neo Tokyo’s 2D pixel-style overworld.

As you explore the city, you’ll encounter various events beyond just battles.

You can make all sorts of discoveries just by exploring the city, such as obtaining items from treasure chests hidden on the streets, clearing mini-games, and completing requests from the locals in each area.

 

▶︎CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

The game features a flexible character development system that highlights each character’s unique traits. You can create diverse builds by leveling up characters, assigning stats, and customizing equipment.

The flexible system allows you to create unique builds, such as training a healing-focused character to excel at attacking.

TRIBE NINE will keep expanding the main story and city through updates after its official release.
For the latest game system updates, check out the “Director’s Letter” on the TRIBE NINE official website.

Game Director Soejima Yasutaka will provide detailed information about upcoming updates, so be sure to give it a read.
