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

In *Shogun Showdown*, every move is a calculated decision. Set on a single-lane battlefield, you embody a samurai tasked with defeating a corrupted shogun who has unleashed chaos across the land. The combat takes place on a one-dimensional track, typically spanning 4 to 12 spaces. Here, you'll manage queued moves, strategize attacks, shift positions, and avoid being trapped by ashigaru warriors.

With the ability to queue only three actions at a time, every choice is crucial. The game's procedurally generated runs ensure that each playthrough offers new challenges, enemies, and layouts. The pixel art beautifully captures a feudal Japanese aesthetic, inviting you to dive deeper into its world. If you're intrigued, don't miss out on watching the official trailer below!
