Crunchyroll Expands Game Vault with Shogun Showdown Roguelike Deckbuilder

Shogun Showdown, a dynamic roguelike deckbuilder, has joined the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Initially released in September 2024 for PC and consoles, it’s now available to a wider audience.

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

What Defines Shogun Showdown’s Gameplay?

Shogun Showdown demands strategic foresight. Set on a single-lane battlefield, players face relentless threats at every turn.

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 plan moves, execute attacks, reposition tactically, and avoid being outmaneuvered by ashigaru warriors.

In Shogun Showdown, every decision counts, with a limit of three queued actions or attacks at a time. Procedurally generated runs ensure varied challenges, enemies, and layouts with each playthrough.

The game’s pixel-art aesthetic captures the essence of feudal Japan. Curious? Check out the trailer below!
