Crunchyroll Adds Roguelike Combat Deckbuilder Shogun Showdown to Its Vault

Shogun Showdown, a thrilling addition to the Crunchyroll Game Vault, burst onto the scene in September 2024 for PC and consoles. Developed by Roboatino and published by Goblinz Studio and Gamera Games for other platforms, this roguelike combat deckbuilder has captivated players with its innovative approach to turn-based combat.

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

In Shogun Showdown, strategic thinking is your sword and shield. Set on a single-lane battlefield, you embody a samurai tasked with defeating a corrupted shogun who has unleashed chaos and darkness upon the land. The combat unfolds on a linear track, ranging from 4 to 12 spaces, where you must meticulously manage your queued moves, launch attacks, maneuver positions, and avoid being trapped by relentless ashigaru warriors.

Every decision counts in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown, as you're limited to queuing up to three actions or attacks at a time. With each run being procedurally generated, you'll encounter new challenges, enemies, and map configurations, ensuring that no two playthroughs are the same.

The game's visual appeal is heightened by its pixel art, which beautifully captures the essence of feudal Japan. If you're curious to see it in action, check out the official trailer right here:
