Crunchyroll Expands Library with Shogun Showdown: A Roguelike Deckbuilder

Shogun Showdown, a thrilling new addition to the Crunchyroll Game Vault, originally launched in September 2024 for PC and consoles. Developed by Roboatino and published by Goblinz Studio and Gamera Games for other platforms, this game has quickly become a favorite among fans of roguelike combat deckbuilders due to its innovative approach to turn-based combat.

What’s the Gameplay Like in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown?

In Shogun Showdown, strategic thinking is key. The game unfolds on a single-lane board, where every element is out to get you. You take on the role of a samurai on a quest to vanquish a corrupted shogun who has brought chaos and darkness to the world. The battles are set on a one-dimensional track, typically spanning 4 to 12 spaces. Here, you'll manage your queued moves, prepare your attacks, adjust your position, and strive to avoid being trapped by ashigaru warriors.

Every move counts in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown, as you're limited to queuing up only three actions or attacks at a time. The game's runs are procedurally generated, ensuring that each playthrough presents new challenges, enemies, and layout variations. The pixel art style captures a unique feudal Japanese aesthetic, which you can experience by watching the official trailer below.

As you progress, you'll unlock new characters, each bringing unique abilities and playstyles to the table, enhancing the game's variety and replayability. The further you advance, the more moves and cards you'll add to your arsenal.

If you're a Crunchyroll subscriber, you can enjoy Shogun Showdown for free on the Google Play Store. Plus, the game supports controller use, enhancing your gaming experience.
