If you're a follower of anime news, you're likely aware of the much-anticipated release of the Sakamoto Days anime on Netflix. This cult-hit series is also branching out into the mobile gaming world with Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle, as announced by the anime enthusiasts at Crunchyroll.
Even if anime isn't your usual fare, Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle promises a rich tapestry of gameplay. Beyond the traditional match-three puzzles, the game incorporates storefront simulation that aligns with the series' plot, along with battling mechanics and the chance to recruit a diverse cast of characters from the show.
Sakamoto Days itself centers on the titular character, Sakamoto, a retired assassin who traded his dangerous past for a peaceful family life and a regular 9-5 job at a convenience store. However, the underworld doesn't easily release its grip, and alongside his new partner Shin, Sakamoto proves that a bit of rust hasn't dulled his near-superhuman abilities.
