This Darkest Dungeon-inspired roguelike has Ghost of Tsushima vibes and a 94% Steam rating

If Ghost of Tsushima was a turn-based roguelike with card battling elements, one can only imagine it would look something like Shogun Showdown, which just launched in Steam Early Access.

Admittedly, the only thing about Shogun Showdown resembling Ghost of Tsushima is the feudal Japan setting. Sucker Punch's take is a modern touchstone for games, and that setting is beautifully realized here with SNES-style pixel art and dynamic lighting. Shogun Showdown's gameplay shares DNA with some of the most popular turn-based strategy games and roguelikes from recent years, specifically Into the Breach, Darkest Dungeon, Crypt of the Necrodancer, and Slay the Spire.
