unlabelledView post →Shogun Showdown ( @roboatino.bsky.social ) This super clever samurai roguelike is my most played game of 2025 with (check notes) 78h of game time! That's huge for me, I get bored very quickly. store.steampowered.com/app/2084000/...
unlabelledView post →Ok so this is cheating bc the game actually came out in 2024, but I somehow never checked it out…Shogun Showdown is a really cool concept that seems beautifully executed. The demo shows off a really smart approach to roguelike risk-reward and the battles feel amazing.
unlabelledView post →Got completely stunlocked over the last weekend by Shogun Showdown - store.steampowered.com/app/2084000/... Super fun little strategy/action roguelike with a really creative and well thought out combat system. Controls take some getting used to but when it clicks, *chef kiss* 👨🍳
unlabelledView post →I own it but only tried 40 minutes so far but I thought it was pretty good roguelite! Shogun Showdown is a pretty cool turn based roguelite enjoyed what I tried store.steampowered.com/app/2084000/... youtu.be/SmqdoTo3rbg?... #roguelite #blutoid #indiegames

unlabelledView post →Shogun Showdown is a perfectly designed game. Simple enough for quick immersion, but with enough depth for endless replayability. Beautifully minimalistic visual and audio design. A turn based 2D rogue-like deck-builder with 30-minute runs. store.steampowered.com/app/2084000/...

unlabelledView post →Shogun Showdown (Game) Fun little turn based roguelike with a big focus on movement and positioning. Its pretty well made and the best thing about this one is how runs don't take too long, so its pretty easy to just pick up and play without too much commitment. Crossbow goes brrrrr
unlabelledView post →This finely-honed samurai strategy game deserves a place in the roguelike hall of fame this year just as much as Balatro #Shogunshowdown- PC Gamer #indiegame apple.news/ASp-hhTx7R1u...
unlabelledView post →Shogun Showdown — now that's a good ass video game, dude.
unlabelledView post →Can’t think of a game that I’ve enjoyed more this year. Shogun Showdown: a really neat puzzle/strategy/roguelite game that scratched the same itch as the superb Fights in Tight Spaces.
unlabelledView post →I think I love Into the Breach for its legacy even more than for the game itself. We've now got a whole crop of cool games like Tactical Breach Wizards and Shogun Showdown that use the ItB mechanic of showing you the enemy actions and allowing you to feel like a brain genius
unlabelledView post →My latest Steam Deck obsession is Shogun Showdown. This slick little strategy game is turn based and has really simple controls but rewards strategy & timing. Lots of fun & on sale right now though it is never too expensive.
