About Dr. Kyanta
Dr. Kyanta is a puzzle game offshoot from the Ultra Fight Da! Kyanta series, developed by KASUBISHA. Released in October 2025 for PC, it blends turn-based grid navigation with color-matching mechanics. You play as Dr. Kyanta or sidekick Masako, shifting across a board to shatter colored blocks and collect stars. The goal is to reach five stars before opponents, whether solo, versus a CPU, or in local multiplayer. Split-screen mode adds a competitive edge for two players. Simple visuals and sharp controls make it a quick pick for casual puzzlers and fans of strategic tile-based play.
Gameplay
Each round centers on a grid where you move your character to break blocks, which clears space and reveals stars. Matches of three or more same-colored blocks destroy them, granting points and sometimes stars. Movement is grid-based, with limited steps per turn to balance strategy and speed. Multiplayer pits players against each other, forcing you to disrupt opponents’ paths while advancing your own. Split-screen keeps it frantic but rewarding. The AI in solo modes adapts, scaling difficulty as you progress. While the core loop is tight, later levels introduce obstacles like immovable blocks or time limits, adding variety. Sessions last 10-20 minutes, making it ideal for short bursts.
What Players Think
Dr. Kyanta holds an 88% PlayPile Rating but a modest 7.5/10 on Metacritic. Players average 8.2 hours, with 42% completing the campaign. Community moods are split: 68% find it fun, 22% call it frustrating, and 10% relaxing. Reviews praise its addictive split-screen mode and quick pacing, but some criticize repetitive late-game mechanics. One user wrote, “The multiplayer is a blast but solo levels get too grindy after hour three.” Achievements are plentiful (62 total), but 58% of players haven’t unlocked over half. Priced at $14.99, it’s seen as a low-risk buy, though completion rates suggest it’s more of a niche hit than a long-term obsession.
PlayPile's Take
Dr. Kyanta is a solid pick for puzzle fans who enjoy grid-based strategy and local multiplayer. Its $15 price tag and tight 10-minute rounds make it a low-stakes option, especially for split-screen enthusiasts. While the solo campaign can feel repetitive past 10 hours, the competitive modes keep things fresh. Achievements add replay value, but the 42% completion rate suggests it lacks depth for most. Best suited for parties or casual puzzlers looking for a quick challenge, not for long-term dedication.
