Skulls of the Shogun is an upcoming turn-based strategy video game developed by 17-BIT. The game is inspired by Advance Wars and features turn-based combat between undead samurai. Skulls of the Shogun is planned for a 2012 release on Xbox Live Arcade and Windows 8.
Skulls of the Shogun is set in a feudal Japan setting, with an undead twist, that is, all the Samurai and whatnot are undead. The game is described by one of the devs, Jake Kazdal, as an "arcade style turn-based strategy game." The devs claim that they were influenced by Advance Wars, but wanted a less rigid form of gameplay. What sets this game apart is that it doesn't use a grid, instead going for analogue controls. Additionally, the devs didn't like the "rock, paper, scissor" system seen in the aforementioned Advance Wars and many other strategy games, instead opting for three different and flexible core units with pros and cons that can be used against any other units, depending on how they're used. Additionally, the property based parts of Advance Wars have been streamlined for simplicity and to go with the faster "arcade approach" the devs are going for.
