About
Every square is a scrap.
Tatami Tussle is a cosy, chess-like tactics brawler. Samurai, ninjas, warrior monks and mischievous yokai bonk each other across tatami-mat boards in bite-sized battles you can finish in ten minutes, or think about all evening.
The tournament's Golden Hanko has been stolen, and without it no result is official. Gather a ragtag army, cross six rolled-up islands, and win it back from the Oni King himself.
TACTICS THAT FIT IN YOUR POCKET
• Every unit moves like a chess piece and hits like a cartoon: pushes, bonks, backstabs and wall-smashes
• Face the right way, use the terrain, save your Ki for the perfect skill
• Four clans with their own style: the Akane samurai, the Kage ninjas, the Tenzan monks and the Mononoke yokai
• 24 different units, each with a basic attack, a Ki skill and its own personality
A STORY CAMPAIGN WITH 70 BATTLES
• Six islands, six bosses, and a referee who is very serious about the rules
• Ponds, rooftops, temple bells, hidden traps, smoke, shrines and floors that roll up under your feet
• Recruit allies, draft your own army, rank up your favourite fighters and collect 30 scrolls that bend the rules
