Our take on Castle Morihisa
The class system gives each run a distinct mechanical identity, but it also narrows experimentation around the chosen archetype. Players seeking one broad, shared card pool may find the class-specific structure less flexible.
What is Castle Morihisa?
Castle Morihisa is a roguelike deckbuilder set during a rebellion in a Japanese-inspired castle.
Players choose one of four classes—Monk, Samurai, Onmyoji, or Ninja—and develop a deck through repeated battles. More than 300 cards support different class-based builds, while talents add further choices during a run. Each class uses distinct mechanics: the Monk combines Meditation and Mantra, the Samurai focuses on Sakura and Retaliate, the Onmyoji summons Shikigami and can build around Leech, and the Ninja uses Mantra Signs, Kunai, and Shuriken. Fallen heroes from the Sengoku period can also join battles as allies. The campaign follows a spy sent to Castle Morihisa to investigate missing emissaries and rumors of an attempted seizure of the throne.

Castle Morihisa compared to similar games
Shogun Showdown also combines roguelike progression with deckbuilding, but its battles center on positioning, attack tiles, and timing actions. Castle Morihisa instead uses four classes, more than 300 cards, class-specific mechanics, talents, and fallen-hero allies. The other listed titles do not present the same deckbuilding combat scope for this audience.
