Japanese game developer T.Okawa opened the Steam store page for their new game Choushogi<\/strong> <\/em>(\u8d85\u5c06\u68cb), which can be translated into something like \u201cSuper Shogi.\u201d According to the information listed on the Steam page, the game is coming out on November 8, and it will only support Japanese.

Shogi, also known as Japanese chess, is a board game played by two players, where each person tries to checkmate the opponent\u2019s king piece. Each piece has a different move set and unlike Chess, captured pieces can be returned to the board by the capturing player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Choushogi<\/em> pretty much do away with the original ruleset and introduces physics-based gameplay that can be played without the knowledge of Shogi. You move the pieces by launching them like cannons. Two players take turns to hit the opponent\u2019s pieces, and the game is won when the opponent\u2019s king piece falls off the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each piece still has its own movement, for example, the rook can only move orthogonally, and the bishop can only move diagonally. However, moving distance is determined by the charge and release input done by the players. Timing is key here, because overcharging will weaken the launching power. Apparently, you can launch a piece like a catapult by using another piece as a foundation.
