Shogun Showdown review: an exceptional roguelike that hits different


Like a samurai poised patiently for an opening in their opponent’s defences, Shogun Showdown understands that focus and finesse are the means to delivering an impactful blow.

Highly refined, stylish and complex, Shogun Showdown is a delight.
