The highly anticipated Sakamoto Days anime is soon to grace our screens, and it's bringing a mobile game along for the ride! Launching around the same time, Sakamoto Days: Dangerous Puzzle blends battling, character collection, and match-three gameplay into a unique package.
Crunchyroll reports that even if you're not an anime enthusiast, this mobile game promises a diverse and engaging experience. Beyond the match-three puzzles, expect storefront simulation (fitting the series' plot), battling mechanics, and the chance to recruit a wide array of characters from the Sakamoto Days universe.
For the uninitiated, Sakamoto Days follows the titular Sakamoto, a retired assassin who traded a life of crime for family and a mundane convenience store job. However, his past catches up, and alongside his partner Shin, he proves that a little rust hasn't dulled his incredible abilities.
Mobile First?
Sakamoto Days's pre-anime mobile game release is noteworthy. The series has cultivated a dedicated following even before the anime's debut, making this mobile game launch even more intriguing. The game's eclectic mix of familiar (character collection, battling) and broader appeal (match-three) mechanics is a smart strategy.
This also highlights the strong synergy between Japanese anime/manga and mobile gaming. Major franchises like Uma Musume originated on smartphones, demonstrating the potential of this platform.
