The Koei Tecmo App (コーエーテクモ アプリ) is an app that officially opened on July 4, 2023. It provides users a means of purchasing Koei Tecmo's books and merchandise by spending various points gained from missions or other services.
Upon downloading the app for the first time, it will ask the user their gender, age, and IP preference which helps influence what content they end up seeing. This can be modified by making use of tabs to filter out certain works. An optional tutorial is also available for individuals who wish to know more about the app's many options.
One of the app's most prominent features is aggregating news not only from the company's official websites, but also through game media outlets like 4Gamer and Famitsu. Some of the information provided are not found anywhere else, giving it a level of exclusivity to attract fans.
When it comes to the books made available through the app, users may opt to buy a copy of their own or rent one for a smaller sum of points. Some books become free for a time, though the selection routinely varies every day.
Users level up by taking different actions to earn experience points such as logging in daily or clearing missions for linked games like Nobunaga no Yabou 20XX or Kiniro no Corda Starlight Orchestra. Increasing the user level unlocks new icons and barcode decorations.
A Koei Tecmo ID is needed to use some of the app's features, particularly the lottery and online shop. Because international shipping is not an option, merchandise transactions only applies to users living in Japan.
Currency
Currency for the app comes in the form of points, medals, and bonus medals. Points (signified in red) are normally earned from daily or weekly missions, though they can also be acquired by inviting more friends to download the app via unique code. Medals (indicated in yellow) serve as the app's premium currency, requiring real money in order to get them. Bonus medals (marked in green) can be obtained by trading them with points, downloading certain apps, or purchasing products from Koei Tecmo Spot.
