Overview
HachikanShogi Matta Ari! offers a unique twist on the classic Japanese board game, Shogi.
Instead of focusing solely on strategic combat, this casual title challenges players to identify subtle anomalies within the game's progression. The core gameplay loop involves observing a Shogi match and spotting anything out of the ordinary.
When you believe you've found an abnormality, you'll select "Hold it! ".
Be cautious, however, as incorrectly flagging a normal situation results in a penalty, forcing you to restart the current game and recording your score at that point. Scores are dynamically calculated based on the number of turns taken, the number of anomalies successfully identified, and the overall Shogi match outcome.
