Tamsoft at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to understand the scope of Tamsoft, you will find a Japanese studio active since 1995 that has released nearly 100 games. They have worked as a publisher on four titles but focus primarily on development for ninety-six projects. Their catalog spans from the 1990s through the early 2020s, showing a clear shift in output over time. The studio produced only nine games during the 1990s before exploding to fifty-six releases in the 2000s. This momentum continued with twenty-nine titles in the 2010s and slowed to just four projects in the 2020s so far. Their work is heavily concentrated on older hardware, with forty games built for the PlayStation 2. They also have a significant presence on the PlayStation 4 with fifteen titles and thirteen each for the original PlayStation and Microsoft Windows PC. While they have touched platforms like the Nintendo Switch and Xbox 360, their main output remains tied to Sony consoles. In terms of genre, Tamsoft leans heavily into action combat. They made twenty-three hack and slash or beat em up games and fourteen fighting titles. Sports games make up fifteen entries, followed by twelve adventure games and eleven arcade classics. Role-playing games appear eight times, while shooters and racing games account for seven and eight entries respectively. The quality of their work varies but tends to sit in the middle range. The average rating across twenty titled games is 60.1 out of 100. Their breakdown shows no titles rated as great. They have twelve good games scoring between 60 and 79, seven mixed titles falling between 40 and 59, and one poor game under 40. The highest-rated work includes Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson at 73.6 and Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions at 73. Other notable entries include Toshinden 4 from 1999 and Onee Chanbara Origin from 2019. Recent releases like Bleach: Rebirth of Souls in March 2025 show scores around the mid-60s, while Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars appeared in 2021 without a specific score listed in the provided data.
