What the press says

Instead of defending a set route, you carve out your own. That's what makes it fun.

Apps-Island (review), Japan

How to spend limited resources, what to defend, which allies to raise. Simple controls, but a strategy game that makes you think every time.

GameWith, Japan

It's fun to watch the allies you placed to protect the forest grow more dependable over the course of a battle.

Coverage

About the game

Open the forest, build your dungeon, and raise nearly 50 allies to defend it.

Awaken your allies from a forest brimming with life. Enemies march along the paths you open.

Choose where to open, and where to lead the enemy. Shape the terrain however you like, then take on the invaders with your allies. Send every invader back to the forest before the Komorebi Stone is taken, and victory is yours!

Key features

Open the forest and design a dungeon of your own

Work out tactics with a limited number of moves, like solving a puzzle. No two layouts are ever the same.

Collect and raise nearly 50 allies

From spirits to dragons, nearly 50 allies appear as you clear the forest. They change form as they grow, and you fill in the codex one entry at a time.

Raising allies strengthens their special abilities too

When allies level up through training, their special abilities, such as healing and howling, grow stronger along with their HP and attack power.

Conquer five worlds

Travel from sunlit groves to forests of snow and ice. Each world has its own scenery, with new terrain and new enemies waiting.

Several actions to choose from as the battle changes

Opening the forest is only one of the actions players can take. - Open: carve paths through the forest and awaken allies. - Flower: grow a flower that draws enemies in, holding them up while dealing damage. - Root: place a wall of roots that enemies cannot pass, blocking the path. - Tap an ally three times: return extra allies to the Forest Ibuki. Battles play out in real time, and the situation keeps changing. Deciding on the spot which action to use and when is what makes the game fun.

Ally combinations change how you fight

Each ally has its own way of fighting.

Players choose which allies to bring together and how to combine them, and depending on how well those allies work together, the way to win can change completely. Working out those combinations is the most enjoyable part of Morifis.

Forest Trial, an endurance mode

The Forest Trial takes place on a large map where two forests sit side by side. Players face an endless stream of invaders and try to see how many Waves they can hold out. Enemies grow stronger as the Waves go on, and every 9 to 12 Waves players move to a new map and open their paths again from scratch. Because players stay on one map for a long time, a forward-looking plan for which allies to raise and when is what decides the outcome. The Wave each player reaches can be compared with the records of players around the world.

Adapting strategy to each enemy's traits

The invading Royal Survey Team is not easy to beat either.

Story

Once, a kingdom overflowed with light, until a shadow slowly began to fall over it.

To make the land shine again, the Royal Survey Team is sent to bring back the Komorebi Stone that sleeps deep in the forest.

Footsteps are closing in on the quiet forest.

Together with your allies, can you defend it to the very end?

Developer comment

"There aren't many mobile games that give you real freedom, ask for quick decisions and control like an action game, and still reward you for playing for a long time. I wanted to make one," said the developer of Hakumai Studio. "In Morifis, you dig your own paths and defend them with the allies born there, anytime on your phone. Depending on how you combine your allies, even the same stage can be fought in a completely different way. I'd be glad if players find a way to win that's all their own. Of everything in the game, my favorite is the Forest Trial, where you see how many Waves you can hold out. It's fairly tough for a mobile game, but that also makes it something you can keep playing for a long time."
