How it feels

A deliberate, methodical wargame where players manage regiment and company-level units in short-turn, activation-based tactical battles.

What players say

Players praise the historical accuracy and setting but warn the game is buggy, with units freezing, cards misfiring, and battles not resolving. The tutorial is too brief, the learning curve is steep, and the sides are unbalanced in favor of the Japanese. Reviews split on whether the content outweighs the technical issues.
