Indie Skulls of the Shogun

[Hendo]

That's a very old trailer but I don't think the game has really changed much.

It's basically a turn-based strategy like XCom, Advance Wars, Final Fantasy Tactics - except it's faster-paced and does away with a grid to move on. You have a circle showing where your character can move to in that move and that's it.

There's a few different mechanics going on so far where I'm up to. Unfortunately, I've got to the point in the story where they introduce a medic class but my opponent has one and I don't so I'm getting my ass handed to me.

Along with the campaign and usual online matches, it also does asynchronous matches like Frozen Synapse which is a great idea.

Art style is great, some funny lines in there too (a quote straight out of Anchorman comes pretty quick into it) and I'm enjoying it when I'm not dying a lot.

I'll play this with you. We need to get on Frozen Synapse as well. Sly, open up excel there...

I was just browsing the coming soon section on my Switch, and noticed that this is coming out on it on the 11th July. It's currently available to pre-order for £8.99 (50% off).
