    Shogun Showdown Part 2 - thanks to the devs for sponsoring, this was fun a year ago, it's even more fun now. It's a tactics heavy samurai game that's such a fun time. I hope you want to see more!

    This game is absolutely sick. If I were to compare it to Slay the Spire, it has less of a focus on getting more powerful, but a far bigger focus on moment to moment decision making. You really do feel like a bada** samurai dancing through armies, and at its best you aren't even thinking about what you are doing because you can just know at a glance what your next 5 or so moves should be. I really hope Tyler keeps playing this, because it's really fun and I for one will absolutely watch it.

    Some small notes; in the one boss with the 15 health summoner, it's better to leave the summoner alive, as otherwise you have no way to block arrows or shurikens (you basically are required to use the summons as meatshields to do damageless on that fight)
    If the health potion is on sale a a shop for $2, you can buy it and then sell it for a profit.
    Please play more of this. It's an amazing game and I would love to see you try to unlock *everything*. (Unlocking all the stuff for skulls is just a matter of runs played; the real challenges are beating the higher Days, getting all of the red and gold stamps, and both of those things are per-character.

    Obviously this game harkens most to slay the spire, but the positioning and manipulating enemy movement reminds me a lot of radiant historia, a turn based RPG for the ds. Enemies in that game are in a 3x3 grid, and the main combat mechanic is knocking enemies around in the grid to pile all of them into one spot to get off a huge combo

    My personal favorite build is perfect strike/free play kunai, perfect strike resets the cooldown if the move exactly kills an enemy and kunai hit for one damage once per point of damage the tile has so it always triggers. Free play also lets you add a move to the attack queue without losing a turn so if it has enough damage nothing short of a boss can even try to hit you
