Developed by Zxima and published by Kodansha Creators’ Lab, MOCHI-O puts players in charge of nurturing and deploying a national defence hamster to fend off waves of invading enemies.
During runs, players collect seeds to level up stats such as firing rate, crit chance and attack range, while unlocking new weapons and upgrades to shape different playstyles. Outside of combat, bonding activities like petting, feeding and decorating MOCHI-O’s space further boost its combat potential, tying progression directly to its caretaker relationship.
MOCHI-O is launching on January 19, 2026 for PC via Steam.
