Deleted all my saved progress, no way to restore or complain

Played for two weeks, logged back in to find all the progress has been deleted. Shame.

Good but buggy

Need to fix bugs makes impossible to win scenarios sometimes

The low ratings are because of Crunchyroll

I’ve played a good bit of this game on console and it’s amazing! You can feel the love that the devs put into the game and they seem to have mastered the ingredients for a stellar roguelike!

I can’t provide a good game for comparison because they really broke the mold, or rather improved on it. The sheer variety of characters, abilities, relics, and more put this game in my top 5 of roguelikes

Hi there! It's fantastic to hear how much you appreciate the game's unique elements and the effort that went into its development! Your enthusiasm for the variety of characters and abilities truly highlights what makes it stand out in the roguelike genre. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! 💛

Haters be hating

Im not sure they tripped on this fantastic rogue, please make another one like this

A Great Game

Ignored the low ratings—most are just complaining about the Crunchyroll subscription requirement. While the subscription is necessary, the game itself is a 5/5 masterpiece.

Why you should play:

• Unique Combat: Fights happen on a 1D horizontal track. It’s all about spacing, turning, and queuing attacks.

• Tactical Depth: It feels like a mix of a deckbuilder and a puzzle game. You have to manage cooldowns and predict enemy moves (similar to Souls-like pattern learning).

• Progression: Great roguelite mechanics with persistent unlocks (skulls) and new characters that change how you play.

• Aesthetics: Beautiful Japanese-inspired pixel art.

If you have Crunchyroll, downloading this is a no-brainer.

Misleading price

Game on appstore advertises the game as being free, then it’s required to own a subscription just to play it, What if I don’t *Care* for tbe other games? can a consumer not just buy 1 game at a time? its on mobile for christ sake. do you not realize howmany subscriptions people are already paying for?

Misleading payment

Requires $12/month sub to access. Just charge a flat fee.

Best game rn

Super fun game since I have Crunchyroll, unfortunate other people can’t play it but by no means should it be rated low

Subscription to play

I’m not buying a subscription to play any game let alone a mobile game. Just make it a one time purchase. Making it a subscription just shows you don’t care for your players and just want more money. But hey just send me your copy and pasted response about how you offer a 7 day trail and ignore this review, not like you will do anything to improve anyways as long as you keep getting profits.

Worst app ever

They make you sign up and then you have to pay 11.99 to play the “free game” f this. I’ll never do anything but complain about crunchy roll the company if anyone ever asks me about it. Well done, idiots.

Another port ruined by subscriptions

Unfortunately Crunchyroll is gatekeeping this game and forcing you to pay for their subscription in order to play it. I’d happily pay a premium to buy the game, too bad the developers agreed to this exclusivity nonsense.

It’s not only 1 dollar

U need the subscription for the game so don’t spend that 1 dollar like me

Response from developer

Hey scp-1984, we recognize that it can be disappointing when access requires a subscription. That's why we’ve added a 7-day free trial so you can explore the full experience first - no pressure. Need help activating it or have questions? We're here to assist at https://www.crunchyroll.com/crgameshelp.

Fun game for roguelike enthusiasts!

Fantastic game and I wish there was more content!!! Super fun miss having it in my rotation

Response from developer

Hi Bigchungbungo! Thank you for the kind words! We're really pleased to hear you're enjoying the game. We will continue to work diligently to enhance the experience further.

Deranged subscription model

Shogun Showdown is one of my favourite games of all time. The PC version is incredible and so I installed this without a second thought. However, when I tried to actually play it I was informed that I needed to buy a £5.99 monthly subscription to something called ‘Crunchyroll’ which is, like, a cartoon streaming platform? I don’t want to pay £5.99 a month just to play Shogun Showdown. I will literally give you £25 for it right now and you can keep the cartoons.

Unplayable

You cannot play the game without a Crunchyroll subscription! I want to give you money for your product but you are not allowing me to do so. Shame.
