The achievements for skulls of the shogun are great in that they ask you to display gameplay mastery and endurance.

The story of the campaign was as lighthearted and funny as a parody of the Japanese afterlife can be.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The multiplayer is incredibly fun and will last you for a long time, the only unfortunate thing with this game is that the multiplayer is very deserted, but if you actually get a game going it's good fun.

Skulls of the Shogun is a 2D game that mixes real time movement and turn based combat with a lovely cartoony graphics style.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

The main campaign lasts several hours (more if you play on a higher difficulty or attempt to complete the set of special goals for each level) and is worth the price of admission alone.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you enjoy turn based combat games with some resource management you can't go wrong with Skulls of the Shogun, it is pretty damn good.
