Sakamoto Days Puzzle Game is an upcoming Japan-only release based on the anime

Get ready for Sakamoto Days, the highly anticipated anime hitting Netflix soon! And that's not all – a mobile game, Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle, is launching around the same time, courtesy of Crunchyroll.

Even if anime isn't your usual thing, Sakamoto Days Dangerous Puzzle promises a diverse and engaging experience. It blends match-three gameplay with storefront simulation (perfectly fitting the series' plot!), battling mechanics, and character collection from across the show.

For the uninitiated, Sakamoto Days follows Sakamoto, a retired assassin who traded crime for a family and a 9-to-5 at a convenience store. But the underworld doesn't let go easily, and with his new partner Shin, Sakamoto proves his superhuman skills are still sharp, even if his physique isn't.

Mobile mandatory

Sakamoto Days has already garnered a dedicated following before its anime debut, making the simultaneous mobile game release all the more exciting. The game cleverly combines familiar elements like character collection and battling with the broader appeal of match-three puzzles.

This raises intriguing questions about the symbiotic relationship between Japanese anime/manga and the mobile gaming world. Major franchises like Uma Musume demonstrate the significant impact smartphones have had on this landscape.
