### 4/5 — Great Game, But Some Suggestions

*2026-05-10, version 3.0.0*

Has a lot of strategy, teaches you some history, and lots of depth. I like the Tenkabito mode. The campaign is challenging at some parts but fun. However, I don’t like the fact there’s Three Kingdoms generals in a game about Sengoku Japan (wrong location and time period). I also don’t like how most generals you have to obtain through luck-based mechanics instead of my preferred system of using in-game currency to strategically pick them. Those are my only real complaints, and it’s still a great game despite a few glaring issues.

### 5/5 — Fun, expanded since launch, with glaring issues

*2026-04-14, version 2.9.0*

Since the main features and gameplay has been covered by other reviewers, I’ll focus on a few specific aspects that are appreciated , and some rather annoying problems. 
Good: the conquest modes and campaigns are extensive, mostly historically accurate, and have been added to since launch to over 2x the content at relaxes, and may balance adjustments. So it’s updated with some regularity. The only issue is that most of all of the new units and faction specific content (specifically the 3 kingdoms and Korean Peninsula units, all added after launch) can only be used if purchased via in game currency, and is otherwise gated to use in the campaigns for those factions. So if you don’t pay real money for the currency , it would take dozens of hours of grinding to unlock even half of the new content. Not cool. 

Now to the most annoying issue I have with the game in its current state. When doing the tenkabito mode, after playing and taking over almost all cities of the mainland of Japan, random cities would be “invaded” by enemy factions and it forces a battle to regain control. But due to an apparent assumption by the game that I somehow have all maxed out unit levels, 6 star generals with max stats and unique gear sets also maxed (in reality I have maybe 40% of that) these battles are very close to impossible due to the enemy being insanely OP, able to one shot any normal unit and often even kill my best generals in one hit, while tanking dozens of attacks from my entire roster of my highest level units with generals attached. It does this by having generic AI generals with stats that are unattainable by players even if maxed out all parameters. This may be beneficial if a player did max out everything and wasn’t frelimg challenged , but in practice it means I am losing cities permanently. And if playing other game modes, the time spent in game leads to even more cities being “captured” by the enemy invasion in the tenkabito mode, which is aggravating and game breaking since it means I can’t level up my generals or units to eventually beat the OP enemy that keeps spreading across my map. It’s a feedback loop and unless it is fixed or adjusted, I will have to quit playing entirely. 

If only doing conquest/campaign the game works and is decently balanced, it’s just the tenkabito mode that is broken due to this horrible invasion system which only appeared years after launch. Still fun game.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-04-03, version 2.9.0*

Could incorporate some relaxing elements like gardening or armor cleaning l, you know, to change up the pace of the game. Super solid game play though. Unlike some cough koei cough games these days. Keep it up 👍

### 5/5 — 好游戏但是微氪

*2026-03-28, version 2.9.0*

虽说如此但我是没氪金的，也算是E社传统艺能了

### 5/5 — Bug?

*2026-03-21, version 2.9.0*

In the time rift on Zhang Fie’s campaign in the battle changban the AI makes the commander Liu bei stay in one place instead of heading to where he needs to go and i keep failing because of that.

### 5/5 — Best game I’ve ever played!!!

*2026-02-15, version 2.8.0*

There are so many things about this game that I love but it teaches you about the time period of the sengoku jidai and more, it’s immersive and allows you to write your own story, best game made by easytech .

### 4/5 — Expansions and grind shifts

*2026-01-18, version 2.7.1*

I NEED a bigger conquest map, maybe including China and east Asia with slightly less cities (or just make it take longer idc) and maybe some easy daily battles for like 30 bankin would be nice

### 3/5 — 역사 컨텐츠의 한계와 독자성 부족

*2025-12-31*

1. 전국시대부터 임진왜란을 거쳐 삼국시대로의 타임슬립이라니, 새로 나오는 장군도 삼국지 인물에 맞춰진걸 보니 중국 유저들을 상당히 의식하는듯하다.
역사물이 가진 한계가 있으면, 내부 컨텐츠 강화에 힘 좀 쓰시길
2. 인물들도 얼마 안되는데 다른 게임사 그림 베끼고 AI돌려 디자인하는건 너무하다 싶음. 이름없는 장수들도 개성있게 인물표현좀 하시길

### 5/5 — A Idea

*2025-12-29, version 2.7.1*

Hi. Was thinking maybe u add a new conquest era. Like one about the age before Sengoku period, or maybe new Great conqueror game like one for Three kingdoms?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-12-22, version 2.7.1*

This truly is an amazing game but one thing that frustrates me is that I can’t add more units to an army when I go to a city or area where you can recruit more troops please make it so you can add more troops to your army’s like in EW6

### 3/5 — 本当にこれは戦国なのか？

*2025-12-13*

大体15万ほど課金しているプレイヤーです。適当に文句書きます。

決して高頻度とは言えないアップデートを待ち続けようやく来たと思ったら日本将ではなく中華将、戦国時代ではなく三国志状態。新しく追加される将は名前すら知らん興味も無い謎のチャイニーズで日本からは既存の将のスキンが2つだけ。大谷やらのネームド日本将追加するよりも先に無名の謎の中国人増やし続けて「戦国時代」ってなんなんすかね。三国志の大征服者シリーズ作ったら？わざわざ戦国で時代も国籍も一致しないメンツ揃える前にさ。時空の裂け目でどういう効果が出るのを期待してたのか知らんけど、日本の戦国を扱っているのに度重なる中国人の追加を行い続ける理由を伺いたい。「アジアの歴史など違いが分からないしリスペクトの必要が無い｣とでも思っているのかね。

### 5/5 — 建议可以征服模式可以出三国势力大乱斗不必拘泥历史这样的模式我们也玩的比较开心

*2025-12-06, version 2.7.1*

建议

### 5/5 — Redeem code and generals

*2025-12-04*

Please give more redeem codes and chance to create my general like world conqueror 3

### 5/5 — 정복 모드 임진왜란 너무 밸런스가 붕괴되있어요

*2025-11-09*

정복모드 하는데 상대방의 유닛 레벨 등이 터무니없이 높아 게임진행 자체가 안되네요

### 1/5 — AI Use

*2026-08-26*

Use AI for art instead of real artist. Especially unerving since design are made by fan and chosen in contest.
It’s quite sad since it is a good game

### 1/5 — 服务器不行

*2026-03-08, version 2.8.0*

你e特有的存档加载难

### 1/5 — 张老贼😡

*2026-02-04, version 2.7.1*

张老贼老子新更新呢😡

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-12-19, version 2.7.1*

Just bad and lazy

### 1/5 — Game is fun but you can’t save ?

*2025-11-22, version 2.6.1*

Maybe I’m blind and can’t find the save button but I cannot save and lost 2 hours i put into a game that I was looking forward to continuing today.

### 1/5 — Где русский язык?

*2025-11-13*

Это хорошая игра, но если вы добавите русский язык я обещаю поставить 5 звезд

### 1/5 — Many bugs

*2025-10-18, version 2.6.1*

Always quit my game, I delete it . Fxxx

### 1/5 — 게임이 너무 어려워

*2025-04-02*

아니면 장군슬롯을 더 늘려주던가 너무 어렵다구요 리뷰 쳐남기면 개무시하지말고 피드백을 고려 해주세요 과금하고 안하고 차이가 너무 심각하다구요 스테이지에서 자꾸 막히는게 정상입니까? 게임이 재밌게 진행을 해줘야지 적들은 너무 강하게 만들고..뭐 어쩌라는거지 모르겠네

### 1/5 — 更新之後越來越差

*2025-02-21, version 2.2.2*

克金項目大增，武鬥場專門噁心人，毫無樂趣可言。

### 1/5 — 越来越敷衍的更新

*2025-01-21, version 2.1.0*

都一次见到出皮肤比原皮数值还弱的，而且新将新皮肤数值较低，没有用的意义，而且伴随着bug，不如不更新，只有每个版本织田的含金量都在上升。

### 5/5 — Hotseat

*2026-08-01*

Make hotseat please

### 5/5 — 다 재밌는데

*2026-07-24*

메이지 유신 같은게 생겼으면 좋겠네요.

### 5/5 — optimal review

*2026-07-23, version 3.1.0*

great game, movement of troops, general strength, conquest and campaign(read the dialogue) are both hard as well so that’s amazing too. The general/unit upgrade system is super easy and a little fun to understand. Highly suggest this game to have a peaceful evening infinitely repeating levels and fighting as and against different clans.

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2026-07-14, version 3.1.0*

Well made, cleverly planned game

### 5/5 — Please

*2026-07-07*

Please add Russian language

### 5/5 — アプデ・更新求む

*2026-06-20*

他レビューでも言われている通り、ものすごく武将の設定等凝りすぎやろって言いたくなるほどの凝り具合で歴史好きとしては勧めたくなります!ですが、侵略というものでは少し難易度が難しすぎたり、反乱も同様なものが起きています。また、ジャンヌ・ダルクや三国志武将等、同時代に生きていない武将が多くいるため楽しさが少し残念なところになっています。
番外編等あるのでもう少し幅を聞かせて、日本国内の征服だけでなく世界進出も目指したいのでよろしくお願いいたします!(めっちゃ課金しちゃったから引き下がれないので)

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-06-06, version 3.0.0*

I love this game, very enjoyable I just wish they did a conquest mode where we can unite all of Japan Korea and invade surrounding nations

### 5/5 — Very Free Choice

*2026-05-01, version 3.0.0*

I like how they implemented some nice diplomacy mechanics, and also made the generals feel more powerful and can change the tide in a war though i feel like its very easy to get most of the generals and there really isnt much of a grind just waiting for daily rewards and tenkabito

### 5/5 — Greatest strategy game available around

*2026-04-27, version 2.9.0*

Greatest strategy game available, you get loads of content. After being playing for 2 years , 2 hours daily I still have great challenging content to play, with more content added regularly you can’t beat this for entertainment, I have been playing strategy games for over 30 years but this is the best around, love it.

### 5/5 — 혼자하기

*2026-04-21*

좋은게임 쇼군뿐만 아니라 시리즈 거진 다해봤는데 너무 재밋어서 50만원은 과금한거같에요
