Let's Learn Shogi

This would be a great tool, if it actually worked. Unfortunately, it will just freak out sometimes and not allow you to make a perfectly legal move, ESPECIALLY if you want to move backwards. Pieces will seemingly "transform" into others (ended up moving one of my pawns multiple files sideways, as if it were a rook). One time the computer's king moved straight into check, and I couldn't even move the piece that was checking it... I appreciate you trying to bring an easy and accessible Shogi game to PC, but these issues are beyond inexcusable. How is anyone meant to learn the game when it can't even emulate the rules properly?

A great learning tool to understand how Shogi works, but not for in-depth or advanced practice. The AI just loses to the same strategy every time, unless of course you play in the last league where there's a 1-6-piece handicap on you (The AI still loses to that too, sometimes). Still, a good pickup for the given price.

Let’s Learn Shogi, developed and published by Dr. Cyril Splutterworth, is a deliberately focused instructional title that treats the traditional Japanese strategy game of shogi not as a competitive platform first, but as something to be carefully unpacked and taught step by step. Instead of assuming prior knowledge or throwing players into full matches immediately, the game takes a patient, methodical approach, guiding newcomers through the rules and logic of the game in a way that feels structured and approachable. It’s less about spectacle or immersion and more about building understanding from the ground up. The backbone of the experience is its tutorial system, which breaks shogi into manageable lessons. Each piece, rule, and mechanic is introduced individually, allowing players to absorb information without feeling overwhelmed. Concepts like promotion and the distinctive “drop” mechanic—one of shogi’s defining features—are explained clearly, with visual aids that highlight valid moves directly on the board. This emphasis on clarity makes a significant difference, especially for players unfamiliar with the genre, as it removes much of the trial-and-error frustration that often…

Teaches the basics of Shogi as advertised.

Helped me learn shogi and is probably the best shogi on steam rn, best teaching, best ai, best priced, and no generative ai. Maybe something new will come out that has more quality of life and campaign etc but for rn this is the best.

i don't speak japanese but it's cool
