Shogi 4×4
Read full descriptionHide full description
A full-fledged shogi (Japanese chess) battle of wits on a board of just 16 squares. The pieces and the starting setup change every game, so you can compete on the spot without knowing any opening theory. Each player fights with a king, a pawn, and two pieces chosen at random from rook, bishop, gold, silver, lance, and knight. With so few pieces, every move carries weight, and promotion and captured pieces are all still here, so the fun of shogi is fully intact. ■ A different game every time • The pieces and the starting setup are random every game • Only setups that are roughly even are used • No game starts with a king in check, and the first player can never give check on the first move ■ Two modes to fit your time • 10 Second Mode: 10 seconds per move (20 seconds for the first move only) • 3 Minute Mode: each player has 3 minutes in total, and whoever runs out of time loses ■ Online or against the CPU • Random match: find an opponent and start playing right away • Friend match: share a 5-digit Room Pass to play against a friend. Anyone who knows the Room Pass can also watch • CPU Play: three levels, Easy, Normal, and Hard. No connection needed ■ Friendly to shogi beginners • How pieces move, promotion, captured pieces, and how to win are all explained in “How to Play” inside the app • After a game ends, you can replay it to review how it went ■ And more • Keeps your Random match record • Ads appear only between games, never during a game • Available in 7 languages: Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese (Brazil)
