  • Shogun Showdown is a new turn-based rogue-lite but with a much heavier emphasis on action than that description may have you believe. It has just released on the Nintendo Switch, but is it worth getting? Well, let's find out....

    If I had to name 3 types of game I don't usually like, "turn-based" "rogue-lite" and "deck builder" would ALL be up there! So this games facing an uphill struggle with me...
    I'm tempted to buy it... it might cure my aversion to 3 different genres at once!

      It doesn't really feel like a turn based game, or a deck builder. It definitely feels like a rogue lite, though. Glen

    There are some mechanics that could be improved, such as those in the store, which are sometimes unclear.
    But overall, I’ve had a fun time with this game. It’s hard, but I don’t know why you don’t get tired of playing it.
    I’ll definitely recommend it

      Replying to myself with an update I guess (can’t edit or phone won’t let me)
      Tried the demo last night played for almost 3 hrs lol. It doesn’t look like a lot at first glance but there is a cool depth to strategy. I was worried about having to collect new tiles each run but it feels almost like a poker or card game in the respect that each run is like starting with a brand new hand dealt to you. Definitely picking this up when I can. (I’d like to pick it up right away but I’m on a tight budget and looking for specific games to go on sale too. If I don’t see one of those specific games on sale I will be getting this this week.

    I always see comments about how people are sick of rogues but man it's mostly what games I have played the last few years and I am loving it. Finally got around to Atomicrops after getting it on sale. Great game and this one looks like another one to add to the collection probably on sale.
    Yes some rogues are basically copy paste but others are the best games that are being made IMO. Hell even some of them that aren't original at all but do everything right are still great and much better than AAA. They remind me of the games that got me into gaming.

    The game looks very cool and original but man…..I had to buy The Plucky Squire but I haven’t played it yet. I blame you guys Switch Up…!! Thankfully I took your advice on buying Souldiers. While the loading times take me back to the PS1 era, I am loving the hell out of this game! Master difficulty is punishing, yet so rewarding and I can’t force myself to play The Plucky Squire until I finish this game with all 3 classes.
    Thank you!!!❤❤❤

    Great review Glen. I disagree with respect with the value though it should be 19. 12 quid is nothing for a high production roguelike/lite that can keep one occupied for hundreds of hours.
    That being said the rest of the review was spot on.👍

      Yeah, value is difficult. It can keep you occupied for a long, long time (and it will for me) but some may find that repetitive. I try to find a score that reflects both trails of thought. Glen

    Switchup. Please try to review beyond galaxy land. It's coming out really soon and it looks absolutely amazing but nobody is talking about it and I'm afraid its going to be one of those games that gets burried because of zelda and the switch 2 stuff. It just seems like it's not getting any PR. There are a handful of really really small RUclips channels that have played the demo available to reviwers but that's it.

    @samwoodley1653 18 часов назад

    Only problem I've had with this game is it feels quite basic and limited in a way at the start, both overall and in each run. You don't have that many different weapons/attacks and the ones you do have are fairly similar. There isn't a lot of depth to the combat since it's just moving sideways and turning around. Add on the pretty basic power-ups or trinkets you can buy that doesn't really change things up significantly and you quickly find that runs tend to blend into each other.
    Upgrades to your weapons are also fairly tame, upping the damage, adding an effect, or reducing the cooldown (or the opposite for a different benefit) doesn't really excite me too much.
    I know it's a different gamestyle but Slay the Spire easily made each run feel fresh and new because the cards gave a LOT of variety and the trinkets you found drastically changed up how your deck worked.
    I almost get the impression that if this game was on a 5x5 grid or something, there would have been more depth there for a greater variety of weaponry and movement. As it stands the game is well worth the price, only if you're hoping for more than 10-15 hours of content you'll like burn out. The different characters you get also don't change anything at all, only your passive movement ability. In terms of difficulty it's about average, easier than the likes of Hades but only because each run feels shorter.
    Overall I'm happy I bought it but I was expecting a little more. Even as I unlock a large quantity of new moves and abilities between runs, none really make me think of cool build ideas. Everything just moves you, hits a specific tile, or maybe debuffs the enemy a bit.
    Shogun Showdown 2 if they corrected mistakes and improved on things would be legendary, I think. This game feels like a promising first step towards something great.
