Snow Battle Princess Sayuki, originally known as Heavenly Guardian in North America and The Legend of Sayuki in Europe, was planned to be a part of the Pocky and Rocky/Kiki Kaikai series, called Kiki Kai World. Unfortunately, after Taito’s merger with Square Enix, this was one of the projects that was left on the cutting room floor, leading to developer Starfish releasing the game with the license removed.

Play as Sayuki, a snow goddess in love with a mortal boy who has fallen under a grave illness. Therefore, you go on a journey to find a remedy for his condition and gain the trust of the villagers, who are wary of the goddesses. But the forces of evil won’t have it.
With your trusty bunny Toto at your side, use different types of snow magic, upgrade them and blast your way through the hordes of yokai and other monsters standing in your way!
Battle Princess Sayuki rewards an aggressive playstyle!

Alternatively, partner up with a friend who takes the role of Sayuki’s sister Koyuki and see who has the highest score at the end. The winner will be crowned the most beautiful among the snow goddesses!
