Gameplay

Battles run on simple match-three mechanics. Players line up same colored puzzle pieces to strike enemies and fill up meters for each recruit's ultimate attack. Away from combat, the game folds in a storefront simulation layer: the shop expands as players progress, and a bigger store brings in more sales and unlocks more upgrades. Building a squad matters too, since every assassin carries a distinct skill into the fight.

Story and Characters

The setup mirrors the anime. Retired hitman Taro Sakamoto now lives quietly behind a convenience store counter while raising his daughter, until a huge bounty draws a hundred fresh assassins to his door. Players pull familiar faces into their roster, among them Heisuke Mashimo, Yoichi Nagumo, Lu Xiaotang, Shishiba, and Osaragi, and send them out alongside Taro to fend off the hunters.

Release and Availability

GOODROID, a CyberAgent subsidiary, launches the game for iOS and Android in Japan on April 2, 2025, the first ever Sakamoto Days video game. The timing lines up with the TV anime's January 2025 debut on TV Tokyo and Netflix. The rollout stays Japan only for now, with no confirmed word on a global version, so overseas fans need a Japanese storefront account to play.
