With Koei unlikely to revisit to their 2-D tactical strategy roots, its up to publishers such as Global A Entertainment to carry the torch. Set in the Warring States period of Japan, players become Nobunaga in his bid to unite Japan under one house. Five main personalities in the game provide rivalry, loyalty and intrigue in addition to warfare. There's Akechi Mitsuhide (Nobunaga's eventual assassin), Kikyou, Kinoshita Toukichiro (a general in Oda's army with ambitions of his own), Matsudaira Motoyasu (a powerful rival to Nobunaga), and Shibata Katsuie (a commander for Nobunaga who betrays his lord early in his career but later pleads loyalty). Forces are trotted out to battlefields and interaction sequences are parried between generals before war where troops engage in hand to hand combat. View the back cover and screenshots.
