Shogun Showdown >> Game Review
Like chess with ninjas++
It’s not actually that much like chess in many ways, and quite a lot like chess in many others, though either way it’s damn good and it’s Shogun Showdown (also on Nintendo Switch and Playstation. ‘Don’t just move, think first’ is perhaps the most concise summary of the gameplay, this is a game of strategy, thinking at least 1 or 2 moves ahead all the time. Looking at gameplay videos you might be put off by the simplicity, thinking it looks too easy and not worth the money. At first glance, it does look like a straightforward game where you are a ninja and move backwards and forwards and kill enemies using weapons. However, the variety of upgrades and the combinations in which they can be used to execute combos makes it addictive, fun and definitely recommended. Even better, there is a free demo version available on all plaforms so you can try before you buy.
