Get ready for the upcoming Sakamoto Days anime and its accompanying mobile game! Launching soon on Netflix, this cult-favorite anime is also getting 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 puzzles with character collection, battling, and even storefront simulation—perfectly mirroring the anime's unique plot. Expect a diverse roster of characters from the series.
The Sakamoto Days anime centers around Sakamoto, a retired assassin who traded his criminal life for a family and a 9-to-5 job at a convenience store. But his past catches up, and alongside his partner Shin, he proves his skills are still razor-sharp.
A Mobile-First Approach
Sakamoto Days has already cultivated a dedicated fanbase before its anime debut, making the simultaneous mobile game release a fascinating strategy. The game's eclectic mix of familiar gameplay (character collection, battling) and broader appeal (match-three puzzles) is noteworthy.
This release also highlights the strong connection between Japanese anime/manga and the mobile gaming market, exemplified by successful franchises like Uma Musume that originated on smartphones.
