Overview
Description

Skulls of the Shogun is a turn‑based tactics game where players command undead samurai in strategic battles inspired by classic board‑game style combat. Developed and published by 17‑BIT, the game blends fantasy and historical Japanese themes with indie charm. Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS, it offers both single‑player campaigns and multiplayer skirmishes, delivering a deep yet accessible experience for strategy enthusiasts.

War of the Human Tanks is a story‑driven strategy title that blends the tactical depth of chess with the hidden‑grid mechanics of Battleship. Set in a land reminiscent of modern‑day Japan, players command human‑shaped tanks in a proxy war between the Empire and the Kingdom of Japon.\n\nThe single‑player campaign follows Lieutenant Shoutaro Daihon'ei as he leads his loyal tank company through a desperate last stand, exploring themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of war. With indie‑style visuals and a visual‑novel narrative, the game offers a unique blend of tactical combat and emotional storytelling.
