＜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)

▶︎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.
