Skulls of the Shogun allows players to use a range of strategies to complete levels from summoning waves of units to charging in with the little troops you have in a final push. The art style is extremely eye catching resulting in long game sessions which is a treat in comparisons to other indie strategy games that have tried to look realistic and failed.

Being designed for Tablets, as well as PC PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, initially it was thought that Skulls of the Shogun would offer little more than five minutes of fun. Yet it ended up providing a basic storyline to string together some relatively hard and thoroughly entertaining turn based battles. – Oliver East, European Editor-In-Chief
