What’s the Gameplay Like in Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown?
In *Shogun Showdown*, strategic thinking is key. Set on a single-lane board, you embark on a perilous journey as a samurai determined to defeat a corrupted shogun who has plunged the world into darkness. The battles unfold on a linear track, typically spanning 4 to 12 spaces, where you'll need to carefully manage your queued moves, launch attacks, maneuver positions, and avoid being outflanked by ashigaru warriors.
Every move in *Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown* is crucial, as you can only queue up three actions at a time. With procedurally generated runs, you'll encounter new challenges, enemies, and layout variations each time you play. The game's pixel art beautifully captures the essence of feudal Japan, making it a visual treat. Curious to see it in action? Check out the official trailer below!
