Play Syougi No Tatsujin - Master of Syougi Online

Naxat Soft released Syougi No Tatsujin in 1995 for arcades, a time when dedicated cabinets still drew crowds. It was a straightforward shogi game, no frills, just you and the machine. The title promised mastery, and the AI delivered a serious challenge right from the start.

You control the shogi pieces, aiming to capture the opponent's king. The game features piece promotion upon entering the enemy territory, and drops, allowing you to reintroduce captured pieces anywhere on the board. Matches demand patience and foresight; the computer punishes careless moves without mercy. Outsmarting the AI with a well-timed promotion or a clever drop provides a genuine sense of accomplishment.
