Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs: The Thrilling Steamy Maze Kiwami is a single-player roguelike RPG built around changing-layout dungeons and hot-spring power-ups. Its reception is mixed: critics recognize familiar dungeon-crawling appeal but raise concerns about originality, presentation, and controls. Whether that sounds worthwhile depends in part on how much you enjoy the genre and the Yuuna property.
What kind of game is Kiwami?
FuRyu Corporation developed and published the Steam release, which launched on January 17, 2024. Steam describes it as a single-player roguelike RPG based on the Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs property. The store listing’s hook is a choice between a bath and a dungeon: its description highlights exploring dungeons with changing layouts, powering up in hot springs, and following a new story.

That combination places the game at the intersection of dungeon-crawler systems and the series’ supernatural hot-spring setting. The available descriptions establish the premise, but they do not establish how varied the dungeons or story are in practice.
What do critics say about it?
Metacritic’s PC page showed a 54 Metascore from five critic reviews when accessed in 2026, a small sample the site characterizes as mixed or average. The excerpts point to several distinct considerations rather than a single consensus explanation: a critic recognizes competent dungeon crawling and strategic depth, while other reviews describe the experience as derivative or criticize its presentation and PC controls.

#1 Best Overall
Dungeon-crawler familiarity
The game’s roguelike structure and item management may appeal to players who enjoy planning around dungeon runs. The critical comments suggest that genre familiarity is a central part of the value proposition: familiar mechanics can be satisfying for fans, but may not feel inventive to players looking for a fresh take.
Franchise affinity and presentation
Reviews also make familiarity with the manga and anime property a relevant factor. The setting may carry more appeal for readers already invested in Yuuna’s world; the cited criticism of originality and visual or thematic execution suggests that the property alone does not guarantee the presentation will work for every player.
Rank #2
Controls on PC
Some critic excerpts raise PC control or port-quality concerns. That matters particularly for a dungeon crawler, where navigating menus and managing items are recurring tasks. The available review information does not specify a single control fix or configuration that resolves those concerns.
How do player ratings compare?
Storefront ratings are separate snapshots from different platforms and audiences, not directly comparable scores. At access in 2026, Steam showed 56% positive from 23 user reviews; the US PlayStation Store showed 4.06 out of 5 from 163 ratings. Both totals can change, and the sample sizes and rating scales differ. Steam · US PlayStation Store

Who is most likely to enjoy it?
- Consider it if you like roguelike dungeon runs, item-management decisions, and games tied to a manga or anime property you already enjoy.
- Be more cautious if you want a notably original take on the genre, polished presentation, or assured PC controls; those are among the concerns raised in cited critic reviews.

The game is based on the manga property, and Penguin Random House lists a paperback Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs Volume 1 by Tadahiro Miura. That is a companion for readers interested in the source series, not a physical edition of the game. Penguin Random House’s series catalog · Volume 1 details
