Description

History of the fastest and the most furious entertaining Shogi begins here!
Shogi Wars, officially approved by Japan Shogi Association, is a completely new type of Shogi app with fancy performance, fantastic graphics and the world-class AI.
This app defies the common wisdom that Shogi is only meant for certain experts, allowing everyone from a novice to an expert to enjoy speedy match-ups online with different time controls: 10MIN, 3MIN, and 10SEC.
The app also provides offline match-ups with computers. And with the rank (dan/kyu) of Shogi Wars, players can apply for Menjo (dan diploma: from 6 dan to 5 kyu) that is also officially approved by Japan Shogi Association.
So come and experience a high realistic sensation of Shogi.

Comments on Shogi Wars for Android

★★★★★ Gareth B · Aug 25, 2023

Amazingly done. The UI might not look the greatest, and that might put you off, but this is definitely one of those "don't judge a book by its Cover" moment, 10 out of 10 would recommend.

★★★★☆ A Google user · Apr 8, 2019

I hope you guys make a chat system. So we players can talk to each other. Please put a chat system it feels like playing with a Bot sometimes

★★★★★ DI-S-CO · Jan 14, 2023

Good music, easy and fun, love playing shogi, I do really like 81dojo, but for just a quick game this is nice

★★★★☆ John Smith · May 23, 2022

Very good, just like 81dojo. Here you even win sometimes.

★☆☆☆☆ Marian C. Ghilea · Jul 16, 2022

A bug prevents you from playing part of the games and makes you lose by connection loss.

★☆☆☆☆ Steven Zierk · Feb 19, 2025

You can cheat in your games if you pay and there is no way to avoid cheaters. I recommend 81Dojo, Shogi Quest or shogi instead.

★☆☆☆☆ Curtis Godfrey · Sep 18, 2023

You only get to play 3 games per day, and you have to pay money just to play people with similar ratings as you if you are a beginner. First game I played was a 2 Dan with 38k games played... there are better shogi apps out there. Seriously 3 games per day is pathetic
