Get ready for the upcoming Sakamoto Days anime and its accompanying mobile game! The highly anticipated anime, soon to hit Netflix, will be joined by Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle, a mobile game offering a unique blend of gameplay mechanics.
This isn't your average mobile game. Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle, as reported by Crunchyroll, combines match-three puzzles with character collection, battling, and even storefront simulation, perfectly mirroring the anime's plot.
For those unfamiliar with the source material, Sakamoto Days follows Sakamoto, a retired assassin who trades in his deadly past for a life running a convenience store. However, his past catches up to him, and alongside his partner Shin, he proves his skills remain sharp.
A Mobile-First Approach
The simultaneous release of the anime and mobile game is a noteworthy strategy. Sakamoto Days has already cultivated a dedicated fanbase, and this mobile game release further capitalizes on that momentum. The game's diverse gameplay, blending familiar elements like character collection and battling with the broader appeal of match-three puzzles, is a smart move.
This dual release also highlights the increasingly intertwined relationship between Japanese anime/manga and the mobile gaming market. Successful franchises like Uma Musume demonstrate the potential for mobile games to launch and cultivate entirely new multimedia properties.
