Dive into the thrilling world of *Shogun Showdown*, the latest roguelike combat deckbuilder now available in the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Originally hitting the shelves in September 2024 for PC and consoles, this game has swiftly captured the hearts of gamers thanks to its innovative twist on turn-based combat. Developed by Roboatino and brought to other platforms by Goblinz Studio and Gamera Games, *Shogun Showdown* offers a fresh and engaging gaming experience.
What’s the Gameplay Like in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown?
In *Shogun Showdown*, strategic thinking is your greatest weapon. The game unfolds on a single-lane battlefield, a deadly gauntlet filled with foes all aiming to take you down. You step into the sandals of a samurai tasked with the perilous mission of overthrowing a corrupted shogun whose actions have unleashed chaos and darkness upon the land.
Combat occurs on a linear track ranging from 4 to 12 spaces. Here, every decision counts as you juggle queued moves, plan your attacks, maneuver your position, and strive to avoid being trapped by relentless ashigaru warriors. With the ability to queue only three actions at a time, every move is critical.
Each run in *Shogun Showdown* is uniquely generated, offering fresh challenges with new enemies, obstacles, and map layouts on every playthrough. The game's visual style, rendered in pixel art, beautifully captures the essence of feudal Japan. If you're curious, take a moment to watch the trailer below!
