How it feels

A deliberate and tense historical wargame where careful planning and political maneuvering shape the fate of the Joseon kingdom.

What players say

Players praise the niche Imjin War setting and deep PBEM play, but many struggle with a missing tutorial, poor Korean translation, and unintuitive rules. Historical depiction is sharply contested, especially Ming army stats, while the loyalty system frustrates with endless guerrilla spam.
