Yukie really only feels like a game in the loosest sense of the term. Still, I won’t condemn it. I really think that ImCyan is onto something here, and I would recommend the game to anyone who enjoys Japanese folklore, or wants a good story and is capable of overlooking the less-than-riveting gameplay implementation. Odd though it may be, it’s worth a try. And hey, you can’t complain about a $2.99 price tag.

About
The demon Yukie has subjected the world to an Eternal Winter, feeding off the lives of humans for countless years. The First Man was drawn from the world of story by Yukie. They fell in love, but one day the man disappeared, and Yukie fell into madness, thriving in an eternal winter. Yukie's children all have blue eyes, proof of their lineage. It is a fragment of their mother's power of the snow. Those men who possessed power unknown to mankind were burdened with the fate of killing Yukie.
...But every one of them fell defeated before her. Our hero, Yukiji, is the youngest heir to that lineage. The final avenger of this world. Ready your blade, and make your way to the mountain where Yukie resides.

Critic reviews
- Yukie: A Japanese Winter Fairy Tale is a relatively short and unusual narrative tale that most players should be able to complete in three to five hours. Along the way they’ll hone their samurai senses as they fight enemies based on sound alone.
