Kadokawa Games Inc. was founded in April 2009 as a strategic subsidiary of Kadokawa Group Holdings' game business. We actively promote cooperation with overseas group companies and development studio and overseas expansion, and are engaged in the planning, development and sales of game software.
Kadokawa Games operates out of Japan with roots stretching back to 2002, though the entity known as Kadokawa Games Inc. launched as a subsidiary in April 2009. Their catalog on PlayPile contains 51 titles where they served as either publisher or developer. The company spent most of its active years between 2002 and 2022. Output shifted significantly over the decades with only one game appearing in the 2000s, a surge to 38 releases during the 2010s, and ten games arriving in the 2020s before their activity stopped. The studio focuses heavily on role-playing games, which make up 33 of their entries. They also handle adventure titles and turn-based strategy games frequently. Their platform presence leans toward handheld and console systems, with 21 games for PlayStation 4 and another 21 for the PS Vita. PC releases account for 13 titles, while the Nintendo Switch has 13 games as well. Smaller numbers appear on older hardware like the PSP and 3DS, along with a few mobile options. Quality varies across their portfolio. The average IGDB rating sits at 68.3 out of 100 based on 15 rated titles. Three games scored great marks above 80, while nine others landed in the good range between 60 and 79. They have three mixed-rated games but no poor ones. God Wars: The Complete Legend holds their highest score at 83, followed by The Lost Child at 82. RPG Maker 2003 from 2002 also reached 80 points. More recent releases show a dip in scores, with the Relayer series averaging around 72. Slow Living With Princess appeared in late 2021 as one of their final entries before they ceased new releases in 2022.
