Gunjin Shogi is an engaging strategy game where players battle without knowing the identities of their opponent's pieces. The key to victory lies in deducing the opponent's pieces from those you capture, ultimately aiming to occupy the opponent's headquarters. If your headquarters falls to your opponent's pieces, you face defeat.
This Android application, while not supporting online multiplayer, offers various modes to enhance your gameplay experience. In the normal match mode, you can challenge the computer at different difficulty levels, choosing between "Beginner" and "Advanced". For those new to the game, the campaign mode provides a comprehensive tutorial to master the rules of Gunjin Shogi. Additionally, special modes featuring Naofumi Tatsumi and Maresuke Nogi add a unique twist to the gameplay.
The app also includes a "referee mode", which is particularly useful for playing Gunjin Shogi in real-world settings where a physical referee might not be available. Internationally, this game is known as Stratego, a popular strategy board game that shares similar mechanics and strategic depth.
