MOCHI-O is an apocalyptic tower defence shooter developed by Zxima and published by Kodansha Creators’ Lab. Players care for a weaponised hamster, feeding and petting it between waves to unlock new abilities, then pointing it towards incoming enemies to unleash bullets, beams, and increasingly absurd defences. Between battles, players can decorate MOCHI-O’s room, strengthen their bond, and experiment with different builds that affect stats such as fire rate, critical chance, and cooldowns.
The game blends classic tower defence structure with retro pixel visuals and a deliberately gentle, comedic spin on the end of the world.
MOCHI-O is launching on January 19 for PC.
