About the Game

The Three Great Clans are stuck in an eternal war to become the next Shogun. Can you, a lone samurai, defeat them all with your blade and claim the title?

Slot Shogun is a fast-paced mix of slot-rolling, deckbuilding, roguelike 1v1 combat. As a lone samurai with nothing to their name, you must learn powerful combat techniques known as Arts, enhance your build with the unique effects of a vast array of Charms, and defeat each enemy and boss of the Three Great Clans to become the next Slot Shogun.

BUILD YOUR ARSENAL

Your Arts are your combat techniques. Build the right combination of between 3-5 Arts, and upgrade them for maximum effectiveness. Devastate your enemies with a high-damage Sun build, bypass defenses with a Lightning build, or even wield trickery with Mind or Moon builds! 

You can even construct hybrid builds to uncover unexpected and powerful combos.

ROLL YOUR ARTS

In combat, randomly roll between 3-5 Arts, and watch as their effects execute in order to devastate your enemies. Each round, you can then channel the power your arts with one of three weapons - opting for all-out damage, balance, or a defensive attack. Timing is key - once a weapon has been used, you can't use it again until you've used the others!

COLLECT CHARMS

Nekomata, the capricious shop owner is your only ally on your quest. Visit his shop and buy powerful trinkets, known as Charms, to add additional effects and complement your Arts. Find the Charms which best boost your build's strengths!

OMAMORI UPGRADES

Defeats are a warrior's greatest teacher. Head to the Omamori vault after each run and unlock permanent upgrades to give you a fighting chance against the Three Great Clans.
