Get ready for the upcoming Sakamoto Days anime and its accompanying mobile game! Launching soon on Netflix, the Sakamoto Days anime is already generating significant buzz. Simultaneously, a mobile game, Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle, is set to debut, as reported by Crunchyroll.
This isn't your average mobile game. Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle cleverly blends match-three puzzle gameplay with character collection, battling mechanics, and even storefront simulation, mirroring the unique storyline of the anime.
For the uninitiated, Sakamoto Days follows Sakamoto, a retired assassin who trades in his life of crime for a mundane convenience store job. However, his past catches up, and alongside his partner Shin, he proves his skills haven't dulled.
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, making the mobile game launch particularly intriguing. The game's diverse gameplay, combining popular mechanics (character collection, battling) with a more accessible match-three puzzle element, aims for broad appeal.
This release also highlights the strong connection between Japanese anime/manga and the mobile gaming market, a trend exemplified by successful franchises like Uma Musume which originated on smartphones.
