Eternal Palace Sakura

Eternal Palace Sakura is a 3D action roguelite from the Japanese indie team Denneko Yuugi. It centers on Retla, a fighter with two blades who moves through a constantly changing dream palace. Each run combines fast combat with shifting paths, enemies and power-ups.

Shochiku is releasing Eternal Palace Sakura on Nov 5, 2026. The date applies to PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch at the same time. The Switch version was announced together with the specific release date on Sep 30, 2026.

At launch, Eternal Palace Sakura is coming to PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch. Shochiku mentions a single-player mode; no other native platforms are confirmed in the current release announcement.

Retla attacks with two blades and can chain simple combos, dodge enemy attacks or block them with a shield. Once the Tension bar fills, Over-Tension can be activated and used for powerful Over Arts attacks.

For the roguelite build, Retla collects more than 50 so-called attributes that change her stats and abilities. As the Dream Depth increases, enemies get stronger and extra drawbacks are added, so later floors rely more on build choices and risk management.

The Steam version requires at least Windows 10 (64-bit), 8 GB RAM, an Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD FX-8310, and a GeForce GTX 960. Recommended are 16 GB RAM, an Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, and a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. For both profiles, Steam lists 2 GB of free storage.

Retla travels to the Far Eastern land of Ouran after hearing of a mysterious palace. Upon entering, she is trapped there and must fight her way ever deeper through the labyrinth to uncover its secret.
