Shogun Showdown is a turn-based tactical roguelike set in a pixel-art feudal Japanese world . Released in September 2024 by Roboatino , it combines minimalist 2D movement with deep combat mechanics.
As he arrived in Edo, Kaito was struck by the city's sheer size and energy. The streets were filled with merchants, artisans, and of course, samurai. He made his way to the famous Ryōgoku Bridge, where the city's most skilled fighters gathered to showcase their prowess.
Shogun Showdown is a standout indie tactical roguelite that successfully carves its own identity through the timing-based combat system. It is not a fast-paced action game; it rewards patience, pattern recognition, and precise positioning. If you enjoy Into the Breach or Slay the Spire , this is an easy recommendation.
: Much like Into the Breach , enemies display their intended attacks and timing. This allows you to trick enemies into hitting each other or move out of the line of fire just before a strike. Characters and Progression
Shogun Showdown is available now on PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices (iOS/Android).
About halfway through the game, the roguelike elements truly open up. You unlock new characters with vastly different playstyles. The Monk fights with staves and counters; the Ninja utilizes teleportation and shurikens.
