Shogun Showdown, a dynamic roguelike combat deckbuilder, has joined the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Initially released in September 2024 for PC and consoles, it’s now captivating mobile players.

Crafted by Roboatino and published by Goblinz Studio and Gamera Games for other platforms, the game has gained popularity for its innovative approach to turn-based strategy.

What Defines the Gameplay of Shogun Showdown?

Shogun Showdown demands strategic foresight. The battlefield is a single-lane grid where every move could be your last.

You embody a samurai tasked with defeating a corrupt shogun who has plunged the world into chaos, unleashing dark forces across the land.

Combat unfolds on a linear track, typically spanning 4 to 12 spaces. Players must carefully queue moves, execute attacks, adjust positions, and avoid being trapped by ashigaru warriors.

In Shogun Showdown, every decision counts, with only three actions or attacks allowed in your queue at a time. Procedurally generated runs ensure fresh challenges, enemies, and layouts with each playthrough.

The game boasts pixel art steeped in feudal Japanese aesthetics, inviting players to immerse themselves in its vibrant world. Check out the trailer below for a glimpse!
