Mount Fuji is on the verge of erupting. Red hot lava will soon consume the three sacred temples hidden deep in the bowels of the volcano. The Shogun is determined to preserve the precious heritage and sends his most noble and gifted samurai warriors on a quest inside the volcano to retrieve the valuable goods. Fuji Koro can be played in a competitive mode with 2 to 6 players or a cooperative mode with 1 to 6 players. Players will try and gather sacred scrolls and blueprints for magical weapons, gather resources, craft the best possible gear, and try to get out of the volcano before it fully erupts.
