Super Senso wants to bring turn-based strategy to mobile esports

Super Senso is a kaleidoscope of colors and explosions. It’s a mobile player-versus-player turn-based strategy game that you could almost describe as friendly in appearance — until the other player destroys your base, and it’s all over in an instant. The matches are short and quick; Turbo Studios deliberately designed bouts to last only about 5 minutes.

Bite-sized battles are just one of many of Turbo’s design decisions. It wanted to pack in complexity while keeping the gameplay streamlined and intuitive on a mobile platform. CEO Yohei Ishii says that the way gamers view mobile has gradually been shifting over the last few years, presenting an opportunity to bring deeper gameplay to the platform.
