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!

Played this game when I was younger, don't think I ever finished it. Popped back in my head recently and had to download it. I finished the game over two sessions across a couple of days. Such a shame there's not more to it or no sequal being spoken of. Absolutely goated game with great personality and charm. Pretty straight forward and simple mechanics but with suprising depth of what you can accomplish with a solid strat in mind. You can pretty much beat some of the hardest levels with your captain and 1 other unit if you play your cards right. I love this game. Highly recommended.
