Shogun Showdown is a thrilling adventure that’s like a mix of chess, a card game, and a choose your own adventure story. It all takes in a world inspired by Japan, full of beautiful pixel art like an old-school video arcade, but on Linux.
In this adventure, you’re a warrior who has to make smart choices in battle. These battles are turn-based, so every move matters. You have to think carefully about when to strike and where to position yourself. It’s not just about attacking, but also about plotting and planning your moves.
You also have ‘attack tiles’. Think of them as special moves or powers that you can use in Shogun Showdown battles. You can make these tiles better, or ‘upgrade’ them, and even combine them for more powerful attacks. It’s like having a deck of cards, where each card has a unique power, and you’re trying to collect the best ones.
