What’s the Gameplay Like in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown?
Shogun Showdown is a roguelike combat deckbuilder that challenges you to strategize every move. Set on a single lane, the game places you in the shoes of a samurai tasked with defeating a corrupted shogun who has plunged the world into darkness.
The battlefield spans a one-dimensional track, typically ranging from 4 to 12 spaces. Here, you must carefully manage your queued moves, launch attacks, reposition yourself, and avoid getting trapped by ashigaru warriors. With only three actions or attacks that can be queued at once, every decision is critical.
The game features procedurally generated runs, ensuring a fresh experience each time with new challenges, enemies, and map layouts. The pixel art style of Shogun Showdown captures the essence of feudal Japan, making it a visual treat. Curious to see it in action? Check out the official trailer below:
