Sengoku Jidai: Shadow of the Shogun is a turn-based tactical and strategic game set during this turbulent time; primarily focusing on the Japanese Warring States period and Japanese Invasion of Korea. Other armies from East Asia are also made available to simulate different conflicts across the region.
Take command of diverse armies which employ varying tactical doctrines. Lead your chosen army and their generals to victory in set-piece historical battles or "what-if" skirmish situations against an AI or human opponent. Become more ambitious and achieve regional domination through the operational campaign layer where you have to deal with the consequence of preceding battles.
To become the Japanese Shogun, to overthrow the Emperor of the Middle Kingdom, or to establish a Pan-Asian Empire, one requires mastery of the battlefield. In this time of turmoil, Asia is yours for the taking!
What looked like a fun strategy entry into one of my favorite time periods was quickly dashed by how poorly it is in implementation.
Very little strategy, very little troop control, and very little teaching how any of the game interacts with itself in the tutorials.
The most annoying feature is your troops ignoring an entire battlefield and any orders...
Yeah this game is rough. Not recommended even if you like the timeline.
You really, REALLY, need to like VERY slow combat that depend heavily (and I mean HEAVILY) on RNG, clunky mechanics and aggravating results to find enjoyment in this game. It is very niche, and even if you DO like those niches the game is still very rough and does not aged that...
I played this game rather briefly even then there's no actual ending it's like playing a long boardgame, I tried to enjoy this game, but the combat or the pacing overall felt slow it's not a bad game, but it's definitely not my type that's all I can say, I might of may enjoyed it more if there was an actual board game version of this maybe.
