Overview
Rakuro Hizutome is a legend — at beating terrible games. He loves broken, buggy, so-called trash games so much that he can clear them in his sleep. So when he finally tries Shangri-La Frontier, a polished, massively popular VR world, he expects an easy win. Instead, he finds the toughest challenge of his gaming life: brutal bosses, hidden quests, and a world that rewards skill, patience, and sheer stubbornness. Playing as the bird-headed warrior Sunraku, Rakuro dives deep, befriends strange companions like the rabbit-like Emul, and takes on legendary monsters other players fear to touch. Shangri-La Frontier is a love letter to gaming itself — fast, funny, and packed with spectacular battles that celebrate why we play.
