DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE this game's replayability, it will shock you the way it shocked me, just how fun it is to upgrade tiles and to adjust your strategies on the fly based on what you're finding and upgrading.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a unique puzzle-like combat and I love how it encourages you to play with different achievements or metrics in mind.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's hard to see why a 1-dimensional fighting game would be fun, but the animations, enemy variety, weapon variety, and difficulty is so well balanced.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The premise is really unique, the soundtrack is fantastic, and the visuals are gorgeous, they absolutely nailed the low-pixel art style.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is really good, but it will become repetitive, because you then will have wasted 200+ hours on the game.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

5 heroes, lots of weapons (although not all interesting imho), several levels of difficulties (the 7 days) give Shogun Showdown a lot of replayability and bring a lot of pleasure to the title.
