## About Shogun Showdown

Shogun Showdown is a turn-based tactical roguelite developed by Roboatino and published by Goblinz Publishing and Gamirror Games, released in 2024 at 14.99 USD. Players manage tile-based movement, character-specific special moves with cooldowns, and strategic positioning effects while collecting relics against procedural enemy spawns. Reviewers note the simple mechanics hide deep strategic possibilities, with each character offering a unique special move to master. The pixel-art and animations have satisfying impact according to players, who describe the tile-based movement as fast-paced despite the turn-based format. Weapon upgrades require planning multiple turns ahead, creating a contemplative yet challenging experience. Players also describe the aesthetic as atmospheric and retro. The game runs verified on Steam Deck and offers a long solo session for those seeking a demanding strategic experience, holding a 97% positive rating from 3371 Steam reviews.
