Get ready for the upcoming Sakamoto Days anime and its accompanying mobile game! Launching soon on Netflix, the anime adaptation of this cult-hit series will be followed closely by Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle, a mobile game announced by Crunchyroll.
This isn't your average mobile game. Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle boasts a unique blend of match-three puzzles, store management (perfectly mirroring the show's plot!), character battles, and character collection. Even if you’re not an anime fan, the diverse gameplay is sure to appeal.
The Sakamoto Days story centers around Sakamoto, a retired assassin who trades his deadly past for a life running a convenience store. But his past catches up, and alongside his partner Shin, he proves that a little rust hasn't dulled his incredible skills.
A Mobile-First Approach
The simultaneous release of the anime and mobile game is a noteworthy strategy. Sakamoto Days has already garnered a dedicated following, making the mobile game launch particularly intriguing. The game's eclectic mix of familiar mechanics (character collection, battling) and broader appeal mechanics (match-three puzzles) is a smart move.
This dual release also highlights the increasingly strong connection between Japanese anime/manga and the mobile gaming market, as exemplified by successful franchises like Uma Musume that originated on smartphones.
