That's it. Got 35/36 achievements and I think I'm gonna stop at that.
All 35 achievements were about fun ways to play with extra challenges of certain playstyles and limitations.
The 36th one is just about 100% completion and that adds no value, no thanks.

Thank you Shogun Showdown, one of the most enjoyable turn based tactical games for me. …

So, previously I have written that this game is all about combining a dance of attacks, dashes, swaps, teleports into one turn.
Well, you can also upgrade a crossbow, sell your other moves and just shoot everything. enter image description here

  • Took on the 0-1 cooldown deck challenge.
  • Played 1h, planning every move to perfection.
  • Reached final boss, rich and cocky—skipped healing potions in shop.
  • Felt decision fatigue. Considered taking a break. Didn't.
  • Said “just one more fight.”
  • Made 2 dumb mistakes. Died (1h of progress lost)

Why am I like this. 🥲

I usually don't do achievement hunting, because of grindy or boring achievements.

But this game promotes different playstyles or sets limits that encourage you to come up with new strategies or play differently.
I like it, maybe I'll even 100% this game, got 28/36 so far. enter image description here

This game is one of the best tactical roguelike games I've played. It's similar to "Into The Breach" in that luck doesn't play a big role, and you always have a chance to win if you play well.

I am sad to report my gaming failures on this day. Shogun showdown day 7 is kicking my ass and making me cry. Here is a postcard as an apology for letting you down <3

I want to finish this game so bad!! I want to tell the grouvee friends about it properly!!! I want to beat day 7!!! But god it is so hard and so unforgiving! The issue is that I have the skills, but all it takes is one split second lapse of judgement (or even a misclick, which my disability causes me to make a lot of) to render an hour-long run worthless 😭😭😭

Worse still, when I took a break from it before, I found it so much harder upon return. If I put it down I doubt I'll ever pick it up again and finish it. What say you, internet people? Push on or give up?

THIS GAME RULES!!!!!! dear god the music is fuckin awesome. I never keep the music on in games like this. Enough to get it in my head, and then off so I can listen to something else while I play. It may get turned off at some point, but right now I get hyped with every level I go into because I get to listen to music that just absolutely slaps. The gameplay is also so on point it's crazy. When you learn, it feels like a turn-based fight, but once you get quicker, the controls are so simple that it feels like you're using your reflexes. SO satisfying.

I was initially a little annoyed by how permanent everything is, but it's actually great for my frustration levels. I don't save scum to try to undo small mistakes, I just learn. I don't try to beat the game into submission, I just accept that I'm not playing well when I'm tired. A small detail: once you beat the game, the stats which show up include the time of each run, but that timer pauses whenever you are out of combat. Sexy.

ALSO. MY ARMS DON'T HURT. Game devs, you woo me.

I've played for less than an hour and this game already RULES. Three tries to beat the first boss is the perfect turn-based learning curve for me. The gameplay is inventive yet stripped-back and the STYLE is gorgeous with a perfect retro-feel soundtrack to boot. MWAH. Did I go on a first date today? Sure. Is that influencing my mood? …

The gameplay is inventive yet stripped-back and the STYLE is gorgeous with a perfect retro-feel soundtrack to boot. MWAH. Did I go on a first date today? Sure. Is that influencing my mood? Clearly. Anyway I needed this game and I can't wait to play more. Indie rougelike deckbuilder I could never get tired of you <3
