[This week Destructoid is brought to you by Onmyoji. Here’s a quick note from our sponsor.]

Boasting gorgeous character designs, top-notch voice talents and an exhilarating combat experience, Onmyoji has been engaging players across the globe since its official launch in 2018. Not only does the mobile RPG feature strategic battles that unleash players’ inner tacticians, but it also scratches that itch of character collecting with stunning shikigami.

Netease’s hit title is currently celebrating its fourth anniversary, but if you haven’t joined the bandwagon just yet, here are a few more reasons why you should.

The free-to-play anime-style RPG is more than just character progression and your average genre elements — the game also hooks players in with a captivating narrative about humans, demons and a world on the brink of destruction. The titular Onmyoji hold the key to this seemingly insurmountable task — these gifted humans can read the stars and connect the two worlds as well as tame wild spirits for the sake of peace.

In the midst of malevolent spirits and an epic struggle for power and dominance, can you restore order and bring peace back between the two worlds?

The high-quality graphics of the game add to the appeal of the narrative, as each character is gorgeously animated in 3D with an authentic Japanese-inspired art style. Character designs are pure eye candy, so collecting a new unit is as satisfying as the last.

There are hundreds of shikigami that players can summon as well, each one with unique skins, histories and skills. These add to a player’s customisation options when it comes to building the most powerful team roster.

With a powerful lineup of characters on your squad, you can engage in thrilling PvP
