TRIBE NINE is set in the year 20XX, where Neo Tokyo is under the iron rule of a mysterious masked man known as Zero. He has declared that all affairs be settled through his invention, “Extreme Games” (XG). As these merciless rules turn citizens’ lives into mere playthings, a group of young rebels forms a resistance. Armed with techniques and gear inspired by their beloved “XB (Extreme Baseball),” they join forces to reclaim their stolen dreams and restore freedom to Neo Tokyo.
In TRIBE NINE, players will engage in dynamic three-person team battles. Each playable character boasts unique skills and actions, offering a range of playstyles. Team members will intelligently adapt to each situation, supporting players in battle by drawing enemy aggression, healing wounds, and coordinating powerful attacks to turn the tide of combat. One of the game’s biggest features is “XB (Extreme Baseball),” a special battle mode featured in high-impact 3D cutscenes.
Players will progress through TRIBE NINE’s story by navigating the 2D pixel-style overworld of Neo Tokyo. Beyond battles, they’ll uncover treasures, tackle mini-games, and fulfill requests from locals in each area. From hidden chests to unexpected side quests, every corner of Neo Tokyo teems with surprises waiting to be discovered. TRIBE NINE offers a richly layered narrative steeped in Japanese-style storytelling and a deeply engaging gameplay experience—all available for free, with optional in-app purchases.
