Rally an Army of the Undead and Defend your Honor Alone or With Friends in this Fast-Paced Turn-Based Strategy Game
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Oct. 23, 2014 – OUYA today announced that following a successful mobile launch, Skulls of the Shogun will be available on OUYA on October 28. Players can take up arms as the tough-as-nails General Akamoto, a bone-faced commander who continues to fight even through the cold dark of death itself. Skulls of the Shogun features extensive single-player or multiplayer campaigns, and will be available on OUYA for $9.99.
Skulls of the Shogun combines classic arcade-style pick-up-and-play with turn-based strategy, and is optimized for tactical and adaptive play. The game lets players explore a number of vivid, high-res 2D environments where they can command stoic skeletal warriors, call upon mercurial animal spirit-monks for power and guidance, and consume the skulls of their enemies to gain fiendish new powers. As the saying goes, sticks and stones may break your bones, but wave after wave of heavily armed skeletons will pulverize your immortal soul.
Social gamers can face off against their friends on thirty different multiplayer maps, which can accommodate two, three, or four players simultaneously in local or online co-op. Players who prefer to go it alone can lone-wolf their way through a full 10-15 hours of bone-chilling single-player combat.
