3x3 Eyes: Juuma Houkan

About

3x3 Eyes: Juuma Houkan shifts the series into side-scrolling action. Play as Yakumo navigating Hong Kong and Nepal in a blend of exploration and combat. Switch between platforming segments and timed button-mashing battles to overcome obstacles. The game leans into environmental puzzles and quick reflexes over turn-based strategy. The straightforward approach and fast pace set it apart from the typical Super Famicom adventure fare. While the story ties into the broader 3x3 Eyes mythos, it prioritizes action over deep lore. Fans of late 90s action-platformers might find it nostalgic though it remains a niche entry even within the franchise.

Storyline

Lingling discovers a letter left by Fujii, where he reports about a strange tribe that can control beasts. Yakumo is ordered to travel to Nepal, but first he has to find more information about the mysterious tribe by contacting people in Hong-Kong.
