Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

99 Spirits is a turn-based puzzle role-playing video game in which players fight evil spirits known as Tsukumogami. In order to hurt an enemy spirit, players must first find out the enemy's identity. To do this, players need to charge the gems embedded in the player character's sword, which is done by attacking and defending; once the first gem in the sword is filled up, players get access to clues to the enemy's identity, in the form of words or letters from or relating to its name. For instance, the clues to a katana spirit's identity may be "KA", "blade", and "NA". Once the second gem is filled up, players are able to type what they think the enemy's name is; if they correctly identify the spirit, they are able to fight it, whereas if they guess incorrectly, the player character takes some damage and the gems need to be charged again. Throughout the course of the game, players gain access to new gems, which grant players more abilities. Among the gems is one that gives players the ability to capture spirits instead of fighting them; once players have captured a spirit, they are able to use its abilities in combat. In addition to acquiring new gems, players are able to make previously acquired gems more powerful; for instance, a powered-up version of the first gem can give players access to more clues to enemies' identities. Outside of battles, players are able to navigate a grid-based overworld map, in which they can solve puzzles by using captured spirits' abilities. Additionally, players can fight spirits and find items in the overworld map. Among the various items, there are some that replenish the player character's health, some that sate their hunger, and some that are used to mend the player character's sword.
