Yokai Dungeon cheats,tips - Essential tips for getting started
Become the best at this adorable roguelike
We love a cute pixel art game on mobile, we certainly do, so when we see a game like Yokai Dungeon, we can't help but smile. It helps if the game is good, too. Which in this case, it is. Nice.
Yokai Dungeon is a simple roguelike which sees you trawling through dungeons, beating bosses, and slamming enemies against the wall with blocks and plants.
The game is simple, in theory. Get behind a block and push, and any enemies you push it into die. Easy. The problem comes when trying to push blocks into a variety of fast-moving, intelligent wee enemies.
You play as a cute Tanuki to start with, which is adorable, and you'll quickly find yourself in possession of a few other cutesy creatures to help you defeat enemies.
But that's exactly why you're reading this. You want to get further than ever in Yokai Dungeon, and you don't care how you get there. Well you can try, try, and try again, or you can use these tips to carry you to the top.
Play smart, think ahead, and follow this advice to clear the dungeon of Yokai.
Show me your moves
Your cute Tanuki pal can basically only walk, and push blocks, and to that end you'll have a digital d-pad and a big button for pushing blocks. Block react differently to your push depending on your position, and making sure you smash as many enemies as possible is the ultimate goal.
The thing you'll want to keep in mind for much of the game is ensuring you always have access to a block you can actually push. Two solid blocks up against one another won't move anywhere, the block you are pushing needs a clear path behind it.
That can be easier said than done, and it's easy to push yourself into an awkward situation. Luckily, if you push two plants together, one will break, meaning in those cases you can clear yourself out a tight spot. Hard blocks are a different matter.

Pretty patterns
It's pretty essential to recognise and memorise the movement patterns of your enemies, and for multiple reasons.
For example, some enemies will run in a repetitive circle, or stay in a single row or column. Others will go into any open space, and some will hunt you down.
Each enemy can be defeated the same way, it's just a case of getting a block to smash them with, and leading them into the right spot. Same goes for bosses, really.

Planning ahead
We've already mentioned how difficult it can be if you push blocks against a wall and can't get behind them. It can ruin your game.
As such, you will need to plan well ahead and ensure that does not happen. To start, don't push important blocks into a spot where you can no longer access them. That's asking for trouble.
Plants can sometimes grow back, so you don't need to feel shy about breaking them apart, but you would be better off if you didn't have to break them ever and planned ahead in those cases.

Coin collector
After you defeat enemies and bosses, coins rain down from the sky, and if you grab as many as possible, you will have access to more items in shops.
You can push blocks into coins in order to collect as many as possible, or walk into them. Though walking around will likely see them despawn before you manage to get to them all. A big problem.
Coins are important, and if you can, it's best to push blocks into their path and collect them as quickly as possible. This requires planning ahead, too.
