Get ready for Sakamoto Days! This highly anticipated anime, soon to hit Netflix, is also launching its own mobile game, Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle, as reported by Crunchyroll.
This isn't your average mobile game. Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle blends match-three gameplay with character collection, battling, and even storefront simulation—a unique twist that perfectly complements the anime's plot.
For the uninitiated, Sakamoto Days follows the titular Sakamoto, a retired assassin who traded his life of crime for a quiet existence running a convenience store. But the underworld doesn't easily let go, and with his partner Shin, Sakamoto proves that a little rust hasn't dulled his extraordinary skills.
A Mobile-First Approach
Sakamoto Days has already cultivated a dedicated fanbase before its anime debut, making the simultaneous mobile game release particularly intriguing. The game's diverse gameplay—combining familiar elements like character collection and battling with the broader appeal of match-three puzzles—is a smart strategy.
This release highlights the strong synergy between Japanese anime/manga and the mobile gaming market, exemplified by successful multimedia franchises like Uma Musume, which originated on smartphones.
