Shogun Showdown, the exciting new roguelike combat deckbuilder, has made its way into the Crunchyroll Game Vault, captivating players since its initial launch in September 2024 for PC and consoles.

What’s the Gameplay Like in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown?
In Shogun Showdown, strategic thinking is key before you make your move. The game unfolds on a single-lane board, a perilous path where every entity is out to get you. As a samurai, your mission is to eliminate a corrupted shogun who has unleashed chaos and darkness across the land.
The battles occur on a linear track that ranges from 4 to 12 spaces. You'll be meticulously managing your queued moves, preparing your attacks, adjusting your position, and ensuring you don't get trapped by ashigaru warriors. Every action counts, as you can only queue up three attacks or actions at a time. Each run in Shogun Showdown is procedurally generated, offering fresh challenges with new obstacles, enemies, and layout variations.
The game boasts a stunning pixel art style that captures the essence of feudal Japan. If you're intrigued, you can dive deeper by watching the official mobile launch trailer right here!
