Hello, this is the 213℉ development team.
Thank you for taking part in the Closed Battle Beta!
It's been a long wait since we first announced the game, and we're glad we could finally put TSURUGIHIME in your hands. The test only covered a slice of the combat fundamentals, but a lot of you showed up for it — and, more importantly, left us a lot of comments.
We read them throughout the test period, and they shaped how we decided what to update.
Thanks to all of you, we think the combat came out better for it. (At least, that's how it feels from our side — we'd love to hear it straight from the people who actually played!)
Right now there isn't much we can say beyond thank you, but we want to put this experience to work in development, to do justice to everyone who helped us out.
For those curious, here are a few numbers from the test:
- Test period (JST): August 25 (Tue) 12:00 – September 6 (Sun) 23:59, 2026
- Applicants: 1,012
- Steam keys activated: 872
- Unique players: 803
- Stages cleared: 2,311
- Total hours played: 446 hours 4 minutes 59 seconds
- Enemies Defeated: 282,574
We'll be sharing more detailed data on the official TSURUGIHIME Discord server going forward — come join us!
There's also a post-test survey running for everyone who took part, so be sure to check it out.

Next up, we're aiming to bring a playable demo to an event somewhere. When that happens we'll most likely run another closed beta — this time covering more than just combat — so we hope you'll join that one too!
And on that note, we'll wrap up this milestone 50th Developer's Note. Thanks for reading.
Don't forget to wishlist!
