Dive into the thrilling world of Shogun Showdown, a roguelike combat deckbuilder that has recently joined the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Launched initially in September 2024 for PC and consoles, this game, developed by Roboatino and published by Goblinz Studio and Gamera Games, has quickly become a sensation thanks to its innovative approach to turn-based combat.
What’s the Gameplay Like in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown?
In Shogun Showdown, strategy is key. You navigate a single-lane battlefield where survival is a constant challenge. As a samurai, your mission is to overthrow a corrupted shogun who has unleashed chaos upon the world. The combat unfolds on a one-dimensional track, ranging from 4 to 12 spaces, where you must meticulously manage your queued moves, launch attacks, adjust positions, and avoid being trapped by relentless ashigaru warriors.
Every decision in Shogun Showdown is crucial, as you can only queue three actions or attacks at a time. With procedurally generated runs, you'll encounter new obstacles, enemies, and map layouts with each playthrough. The game's pixel art beautifully captures the essence of feudal Japan, drawing you into its immersive world. Curious? Check out the trailer below to get a glimpse of the action!
