Degica Games

Degica Games at a Glance

Degica Games operated as a Tokyo-based publisher active from 1994 through 2021 before its publishing branch split into a new entity called Komodo. The company released 75 titles on PlayPile, with the vast majority handled as a publisher rather than a developer. Their catalog shows a heavy reliance on PC platforms, appearing on Microsoft Windows for 74 of their games. They also reached Nintendo Switch users with 14 releases and PlayStation 4 owners with 13. Other platforms like Mac, Linux, and various PlayStation models saw far fewer titles. The output from this publisher was not consistent across the decades. They released only one game in the 1990s and three in the 2000s. Their activity surged in the 2010s when they published 62 games, before dropping to just eight releases in the 2020s until their operations changed in 2021. Most of their work focused on Indie titles, which made up 41 of their catalog entries. Adventure games and Role-playing games each accounted for 30 titles. They also published a significant number of Shooter games, totaling 13, alongside smaller numbers of Arcade, Simulator, and Visual Novel releases. The quality of their library was generally solid but lacked consistent excellence. Across 52 rated titles, the average score sat at 67 out of 100. This resulted in a rating breakdown where 30 games were good, 11 were great, and 11 fell into the mixed category. No titles received a poor rating. Their highest-rated game was Crimzon Clover: World Ignition from 2014, which scored 89.4 out of 100. Other well-regarded titles include Umihara Kawase from 1994 with an 83.4 score and OneShot from 2016 at 83.1. They also published Nurse Love Addiction and Last Word, both scoring above 80. Recent releases before their restructuring included Castle of Shikigami 2 in December 2021 and Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion in October 2020. The company was known for localizing Japanese games for a global audience and holding the license for the RPG Maker franchise. They also published shooting games such as DoDonPachi Resurrection, DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours, Mushihimesama, and various entries in the Crimzon Clover series.
