Shogun Showdown
Shogun Showdown is a turn-based combat game with rogue-like and deck-building elements. Position yourself and attack at the right time, upgrade your tiles and combo them to get ready to face the Shogun!
What it's about
Samurai/Shogun setting anchors the combat narrative in feudal Japanese military culture.
How it plays
Turn-based combat is the definitional core mechanic stated in the title and description. Assembling and refining a deck of tiles is explicitly central to progression and strategy. Positioning and timing attacks in a tactical grid-based framework is core to the gameplay loop.
How it looks and sounds
Steam tags reference pixel graphics, a deliberate low-resolution aesthetic choice.
How it's structured
Designed as a solo experience with no multiplayer component. Rogue-like structure with discrete runs that reset on loss, carrying meta-progression between attempts. Rogue-like + deckbuilding + procedural generation creates systemic variance driving repeated playthroughs.
