- Exclusive to Crunchyroll Game Vault on Google Play; requires Mega or Ultimate Fan membership
- Original soft launch late 2022, full Android/iOS launch in 2023; End of Service June 2025
- Features 29 Rilakkuma-series wind-up toys and gacha, seasonal events, and a medal-exchange system
The game was developed by Abby, Imagineer, and San-X with partner developers Vasara, and first saw a Japan soft launch in late 2022 before a broader Android and iOS release in 2023. That original release was free to play with ads and in-app purchases, and servers were officially closed at End of Service in June 2025. The revived title keeps the same core premise: Korilakkuma’s peaceful toy kingdom comes under attack from the Kiiroitori Gang, and it’s up to Korilakkuma and a cast of wind-up toys to stop them.
Gameplay centers on 29 different Rilakkuma-series wind-up toys, including Korilakkuma, Rilakkuma, Kiiroitori, and Chairoikoguma, each with distinct attack patterns and roles. Some toys perform long-range attacks, others hit multiple enemies, and players can trigger special attacks, area effects, and support skills during battles; certain abilities can slow enemies or cause them to be knocked long distances. The game also features tougher stages and boss fights, plus gacha pulls, seasonal events, quest rewards, and a medal-exchange system for unlocking additional toy variants.
If plushy defenses aren’t your thing, we also ran a scoop on Cell to Singularity partnering with futurist Isaac Arthur for its future expansion. That story covers Cell to Singularity’s new partnership with Isaac Arthur and the project’s expansion plans.
Takeaway: the Korilakkuma tower defense experience returns behind Crunchyroll’s subscription wall on Google Play, trading the original free-to-play storefront for Game Vault exclusivity and fan-tier access — and the roster still centers on 29 collectible wind-up toys players can earn through gacha, events, and medal exchanges.
