Shogun Showdown, originally released in September 2024 for PC and consoles, has been added to the Crunchyroll Game Vault. This unique roguelike deckbuilder combines tactical turn-based combat with feudal Japanese aesthetics.
What Makes Shogun Showdown Stand Out?
Developed by Roboatino and published by Goblinz Studio (with Gamera Games handling other platforms), Shogun Showdown revitalizes turn-based strategy with its streamlined yet deep mechanics.
A Samurai’s Struggle Against Corruption
Players take the role of a lone samurai fighting to overthrow a corrupted shogun who has plunged the land into chaos. Battles unfold on a one-dimensional battlefield—a tight space spanning just 4-12 tiles—where positioning and timing are everything.
Combat revolves around queuing up attacks and maneuvers while avoiding deadly counterstrikes. Since you can only prepare three actions at once, every decision becomes crucial.
Procedurally Generated Challenges & Pixel-Perfect Style
The game features procedurally generated runs, ensuring unique enemy placements, hazards, and upgrades each attempt. Pixel art brings feudal Japan to life with striking visuals, blending traditional aesthetics with roguelike tension.
Unlockable Warriors & Crunchyroll Benefits
As you progress, new playable characters unlock—each with distinct abilities and strategies. Expanded move sets and deck synergies deepen replayability.
Crunchyroll Game Vault subscribers can download Shogun Showdown for free via the Google Play Store (controller support included). Its quick sessions and deep tactics make it perfect for on-the-go gaming.
