Shadowveil: Legend of the Five Rings is an auto-battler-style roguelite with a tall order on its hands. Its release on March 4 marks the first time that the well-loved setting of Rokugan has been recreated in videogame form. Legend of the Five Rings is a well-loved franchise with a rich, deep history, plus a veteran fanbase filled with lovers of narrative and mechanical complexity. Capturing this in its entirety is an enormous task – and one that developer Palindrome Interactive has, perhaps wisely, chosen to avoid.
