How it feels

A deeply strategic and methodical simulation of feudal Japan, where careful resource management and diplomacy drive the slow, satisfying march toward unification.

What players say

Players praise the city-building and road construction as fun, but note that the AI does not build cities itself and that controlling distant provinces is difficult. Some report that the enhanced version is richer but the combat was cut. A few criticize the developer for disrespecting Chinese-language players with input and language issues.
