Shogun's Stand

Shogun's Stand is an action tower defense roguelite set in feudal Japan under siege. You play as the last defender, a lone Shogun at the heart of your castle, facing waves of enemies from every direction. You control your tower’s firepower directly, fight alongside your towers and soldiers, build defenses, and grow stronger as you survive each wave.

Build your defense

You collect Mon from fallen enemies and spend it to strengthen your position. Place soldier outposts to hold the front line, spike traps to punish advancing enemies, sand traps to slow them, and flame towers to incinerate groups. Barricades can block key chokepoints, forcing enemies to break through.

Level up and adapt

Defeating enemies earns experience. Each time you level up, choose an upgrade to boost your firepower, multiply the Mon you collect, power up your defenses or strengthen your Castle. Upgrades can stack, allowing you to combine them as you prepare for later waves. Randomized upgrades can also be rerolled.

Face the siege

Eight enemy types challenge your defenses. Fast runners strike quickly, armored tanks withstand arrows and tear down defenses, and explosive suicide bombers attack your position. Ninjas sneak behind your lines, while mystics teleport around the battlefield to buff enemies, curse towers or summon reinforcements. A Boss version appears every ten waves.

Every run changes

Wave compositions escalate, and each run uses one of six map themes with randomly selected obstacles. These are selected when you start, so the layout and threats vary from run to run. The game also features split decision making.
