Skulls of the Shogun

After being betrayed and killed, General Akamoto awakens in the samurai afterlife to find a rival claiming his title. He commands an undead army in a campaign to reclaim his honor, told with comedic dialogue and cutscenes.

Battles are turn-based, but movement is free rather than restricted to a grid. Position units, choose actions, and manage limited orders as you fight with different types of samurai troops.

Defeated units leave skulls that your warriors can consume to gain strength; consuming enough can turn a unit into a demon. The campaign introduces new units and challenges, while an additional episode carries troops between levels. Multiplayer supports up to four players locally or online in real time.

In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the approachable but tactically engaging battles, with skull-eating and other battlefield decisions adding depth. Several also appreciate the comic dialogue, distinctive art, and playing locally with friends or family. Some reviews focus on nostalgia, while others criticize the inactive multiplayer scene, weak AI, or occasional interface and replay-grind frustrations.
