How it feels
A clean, respectful digital adaptation of the classic board game, demanding careful planning and tactical rereading of captured pieces.

What players say
Players call it a faithful Shogi implementation but note it needs a tutorial and lacks network multiplayer, only shared-screen local play. The difficulty jumps sharply: level 1 is trivial while very few beat level 4. Some praise the handicap setup option, and a few report pixelated kanji in windowed mode.
