Frankly it feels better than Shogi Wars as far as the presentation and the post-game analysis is actually helpful in presenting moves rather than just showing you "wow that move sucked" without showing better candidates. Not a big fan of gacha mechanics, seems like a confusing way to make you spend more than you wanted. But I guess there's not much stopping you from just sticking with the default everything.

Can you also add an option for the layout to become like a phone 1080x1980 vertical resolution please, so I can record the game without rotating it for my instagram page? really appreciate that! Very interesting Shogi game! Keep it up! :D

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
