Description

The centuries-old authority of the Ashikaga Shogunate has collapsed, casting feudal Japan into a brutal civil war. Clan has turned upon clan as Daimyo, regional warlords, grapple for power and prestige.

In Senjutsu: Battle for Japan, assume the role of a skilled Samurai locked in a fight to the death. Harness each character's unique motivations, skills, weapons and playstyles to outmaneuver, outsmart, and outfight your opponents in tense, thematic duels.

Senjutsu combines beautiful miniatures, customizable deck-crafting and swift gameplay to create edge-of-your-seat moments and memorable showdowns. Will you leave the battlefields bathed in blood or in glory?
