Hametsu - Core Rulebook

Hametsu – Solo/Co-op Monster Hunting in Post-Apocalyptic Feudal Japan
Step into the role of Hunters, warriors trained to fight back against a tide of Oni demons and mythical creatures unleashed by The Cataclysm. Choose from nine distinct classes spread across three schools to create your own powerful Hunter from the mighty Sumo to the cunning Geisha and stealthy Shinobi.

Stalk the Beasts
Begin each game with the element of surprise. Oni wander unaware… until the alarm is raised! Once it sounds, they will pursue and target the Hunters relentlessly until the Boss appears - and then it’s up to you to bring it down.

Grow Into Legends
Complete hunts, follow your class-specific Path of Legend, level up, gain new abilities, gear, and equip ancient artifacts.

The Hardback Rulebook
Packed with stunning art, photography and lore, the 150-page (and growing) Hametsu rulebook contains everything you need to play:

• Lore, backstory and setting for a post-apocalyptic fantasy Japan
• Full rules for creating Hunters, including all 9 distinct classes
• 6 premade scenarios to get you playing fast
• Random scenario generation tables for endless replayability

The first narrative campaign - “The Wolf and the Devil”

Campaign 1: The Wolf and the Devil
Follow a 6–8 game story that sets your Hunters after an elusive beast. Venture closer to the source of The Cataclysm, uncover the origin of the Oni invasion, gain new relics, meet helpful NPCs, and fight new and imposing Bosses.
