Skulls of the Shogun

About This Game

Joystiq says “…we found Skulls of the Shogun to be an absolutely enjoyable experience – so much so that we gave it a perfect score.” It’s fast-paced turn-based strategy inspired by Advance Wars, and supercharged with fighting-game flare! Enter the Samurai Afterlife and join forces with vibrant ghost-samurai warriors, magical animal monks, and mustachioed samurai generals. And now Skulls of the Shogun tastes even better in the Bone-a-Fide Edition, which adds a brand-new episode, the new Tanuki Monk, and a heaping helping of new features!

Reviews

“Fast, compact and yet consistently thoughtful, there’s nothing else quite like Skulls of the Shogun – and, for me, it earns its place amongst the genre’s greats. “
9/10 – Eurogamer

“Skulls of the Shogun encapsulates whatever essence puts Castle Crashers at the top of the XBLA charts year after year, and does so without infringing on that game’s intellectual property or overall vibe.”
5/5 – Joystiq

“Equal parts quirky and complex, it only comes to prove that the glory days of this often forgotten genre aren’t quite gone.”
8.6/10 – Gametrailers
