Skulls of Shogun is the debut work of the Haunted Temple Studios team. The game is a turn-based strategy, the action of which was set in feudal Japan captured by hordes of dead warriors. The title is distinguished mainly by its cartoon graphic design modelled on animated films from the 80s of the last century and a specific sense of humour.

Skulls of the Shogun is an invigorating cocktail of 1960’s flavored sorcery and strategy. Washing up on the shores of the afterlife, players meet and join forces with vibrant ghost-samurai warriors, magical animal-monks, and mustachioed samurai generals on the way to capture Skulls of the Shogun. With its roots in classic turn-based strategy gaming, Skulls of the Shogun retains depth and adds a smooth, simple interface that makes it accessible and enjoyable even to players new to the genre. Players immerse themselves in battle with fun and unique game play features amidst lush, eerie environments. Also featuring 4-player local and networked multi-player and an original score inspired by old samurai films and dub, Skulls of the Shogun offers simple-yet-deep, refined and offbeat game-play.
