Shogun Showdown is a thrilling new addition to the Crunchyroll Game Vault, a roguelike combat deckbuilder that first hit the scene in September 2024 for PC and consoles. Developed by Roboatino and brought to other platforms by Goblinz Studio and Gamera Games, it's quickly become a fan favorite 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 the ultimate challenge. As a samurai on a quest to defeat a corrupted shogun who has unleashed chaos and darkness upon the land, your every move counts. The game features battles across a one-dimensional track, ranging from 4 to 12 spaces. Here, you'll manage your queued moves, plan your attacks, shift positions, and avoid being trapped by relentless ashigaru warriors.
Each action in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown is crucial, allowing you to queue up only three attacks or actions at a time. With procedurally generated runs, you'll encounter fresh obstacles, enemies, and layout variations with each playthrough. The game's pixel art beautifully captures the essence of feudal Japan, inviting you to immerse yourself in its world. Curious? Check out the trailer below to see it in action!
