Crunchyroll Expands Vault with Shogun Showdown, a Roguelike Deckbuilder

*Shogun Showdown*, the exciting new roguelike combat deckbuilder, has made its way to the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Initially launched in September 2024 for PC and consoles, this game, developed by Roboatino and published by Goblinz Studio and Gamera Games, quickly became a hit 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 takes place on a single lane, a battlefield where danger lurks at every turn. You step into the shoes of a samurai with a mission to defeat a corrupted shogun, whose malevolence has unleashed chaos upon the land.

Combat unfolds along a one-dimensional track that varies between 4 to 12 spaces in length. Here, you'll juggle queued moves, plan your attacks, shift positions, and avoid getting trapped by the relentless ashigaru warriors. Every decision in *Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown* is crucial, as you can only queue up three actions or attacks at a time. The game's procedurally generated runs ensure that each playthrough brings new challenges, enemies, and layouts.

The game's pixel art beautifully captures the essence of feudal Japan, making it a visual treat. Curious about how it looks? Check out the official mobile launch trailer below!
