If you're a fan of anime, you're likely buzzing with excitement about the upcoming release of the Sakamoto Days anime on Netflix. This cult-favorite series is not only making its way to the screen but is also set to launch a mobile game titled Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle, as reported by the anime enthusiasts at Crunchyroll.
Even if anime isn't your usual fare, Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle promises to be filled with diverse content. The game blends match-three puzzles with storefront simulation, which ties directly into the series' storyline, alongside battling mechanics and the opportunity to recruit a wide array of characters from the show.
Sakamoto Days centers on the protagonist, Sakamoto, a retired assassin who has traded his dangerous past for a peaceful family life and a regular 9-5 job at a convenience store. However, the criminal underworld doesn't let go so easily. Together with his new partner Shin, Sakamoto proves that a little bit of rust doesn't dull his near-superhuman abilities.
