## What is Pocket Sengoku?

▼ What is Pocket Sengoku?

The time is the 16th century. As the power of the shogun has weakened, Japan has entered the Sengoku (Warring States) period, where Daimyos (feudal lords) rule over various parts of the country.

The player becomes one of the Daimyos and aims to unify the country! 

▼ Build a prosperous country!

From the castles that players control, there is agricultural income and commercial income. The income depends on the population, the loyalty of the people, and public safety.

Increase your farmland, develop your commerce, and give charity to win the hearts of your people.

If the loyalty of your people drops, a rebellion will break out. If you build a temple, the monks will increase the loyalty of the nearby castles.

When war worsens security, bandits will appear and worsen the security of the surrounding castles, build an Magistrate's Office.

If you build the "Great Buddha", the castle will become a popular tourist destination for worshippers.

If your castle has a gold mine, build a mining camp! A strong economy is essential to feed a powerful army and keep the war going.

Let's aim for a rich country!

▼ Use diplomacy to your advantage!

Send goodwill ambassadors to Daimyo you don't want to make enemies with, and maintain friendships with them. 

As your friendship grows, you can form alliances. 

Allies are very reliable and will help you when your country is under attack. 

If there are powerful Daimyo adjacent to you, it is a good idea to become their vassal and have them protect you. The Daimyo who has become your ally will give you orders to go out and do this and that, but if you keep up with his orders, he will give you a reward. 

On the other hand, if your country is powerful, you can intimidate the weaker Daimyos and make them your vassals. Give new castles to subordinate Daimyos, or take them away, as you like.

If you order your subordinate daimyo to attack the enemy country, you will be able to conquer the enemy without damaging your own army.

▼ Let's build up our army!

Once your economic power is in order, the next thing you need is an army. In Pocket Sengoku, each Busyos has 1,000 men to lead him. In order to form a large army, you need to hire that many Busyos.

There are four types of troops: spear, samurai, musket, and cavalry, and the strength of the troops varies from country to country.

 You can improve the quality of your troops by building "dojos" and training them, and you can also increase their capabilities through "policies".
 
▼ Real-time battles!

Up to 20 generals and 400 troops will participate in a battle.

Use your ninja to find out the enemy's formation, and form an appropriate formation accordingly.

The battle progresses in real time, but time stops when you give orders to your troops, so you can take your time and make decisions.

In a battle, the morale of your soldiers is of utmost importance.  If morale drops, your troops' abilities will decline, and if it reaches zero, they will run away.

If your troops are demoralized in battle, bring them back to the rear and give them a proper rest.

Each type of soldier has the following characteristics

- Spearmen have low attack power but good defense.

- The samurai has a good balance between attack and defense.

- Muskets can be used for remote attacks. It can kill any enemy with one shot if it hits. But the defense is very low, so be careful not to let the enemy get close.

- Cavalry horses have excellent speed and can charge into enemies. If you charge from behind the enemy, you will be able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy troops.

So let's see what you can do as a military strategist!

### 5/5 — めっちゃ面白い！

*2026-07-20*

個人的にはとても面白い！オフラインでも出来るし、シンプルながら奥深い育成感がめっちゃ良い。
改善点というかリクエストは、もう少し昔のシナリオも欲しい。(1550年頃など)、強いお爺ちゃんが多かった時代なのでやってみたい！(朝倉宗滴、斉藤道三、太原雪斎など)、あと難しいかもしれないけど武将のステータスがもう少し細かいと嬉しい！(戦闘、統率、知略、政治など)、今は知略高い＝政治高いみたいになってるから、少し疑問がある人もいる。
でも全体的には完成度も高くて、武将それぞれの物語も面白くて最高です！

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2026-06-03, version 1.2.9*

I enjoy this game alot

### 5/5 — 家康がお馬鹿で交戦的過ぎる

*2025-10-23, version 1.2.9*

基本めちゃくちゃ良いと思います。
長く遊ばせてもらってますが、選べる家も武将も多く、バグも少ないです。
オフラインでも遊べるのも非常に良いです！
桶狭間以前のシナリオもあれば個人的には嬉しいです。全然課金でも可。
そしてタイトルにもある通り、このゲームの家康はやたらと喧嘩売って来ます。
遠方の領地で直接接してもいないのにです。ここだけ直して欲しいですねえ

### 5/5 — いつも楽しく遊ばせていただいてます

*2025-10-22, version 1.2.9*

戦国を題材としたストラテジーゲームで未だにこのゲームを超えるものが無いと思っているくらい、ゲームに魅了されています。
もしまだ開発されているのであれば、ぜひ陣形のプリセットを保存するような機能が追加されたら嬉しいです。
追加コンテンツが来た際には喜んで課金させていただきます。

### 5/5 — 面白すぎ

*2025-09-16, version 1.2.9*

スマホでこのクオリティは本当に凄い。
やり込みすぎて全大名家クリアしてしまった。
仮想シナリオでもいいから追加して欲しいなぁ。

### 5/5 — シナリオ

*2025-09-10, version 1.2.9*

シナリオの数を増やして欲しいです！関ヶ原の戦いの1600年頃、1550年など

### 5/5 — 自慢

*2025-08-30*

クリアしては、また始める、を繰り返しています。後半ヌルゲーという方もいらっしゃいますが、美意識や哲学を持ってプレイすると面白いと思います。
私の自慢は本願寺で全国統一したことです。本願寺幕府の違和感と斬新さに痛く感動しました。似たような意味で伊賀惣国一揆幕府も開府できました。大したことないかな？

延暦寺とシナリオ『本能寺の変』の真田はどうしても天下統一までたどりつけないですね、、、まだまだ甘い。

制作者の方へ
新しいシナリオをどうかお願いします。応仁の乱あたりのと関ヶ原のシナリオがあったら嬉ションします。
みなさんも書いてますが、配下の武将独立はロマンありますが、このゲームの肝は従属大名の数なので（大垣城あたりで織田勢と東西を二分したとして、織田よりも従属大名を多くしておくと体力勝負で勝てる）、簡単になり過ぎるのではないでしょうかねぇ。あるいは中盤が難しくなり過ぎるかも。

もし制作者様の年齢や環境でアップデートできないなら、信頼できるどなたかに依頼できないでしょうか？設計など指示されれば変な課金ゲームにかわったりはしないはず。

結構高くても買います。どうかご検討、お願いします！

### 5/5 — 最高！

*2025-08-24, version 1.2.9*

めっちゃ楽しい！
関ヶ原シナリオとか入れて欲しい

### 5/5 — アプデ希望

*2025-08-14, version 1.2.9*

ゲームとしてはものすごく楽しいのですがそろそろ大規模アップデートを希望します。例えば難易度モードの追加で、今のAIは捕らえた武将をほぼ釈放するので例えばハードモードではAIが捕まえた武将を登用したり斬首するようにして欲しいです。そして、弓兵、海兵も追加して欲しいです。欲を言うと教会等も建設できるようにして欲しいです

### 5/5 — がちおもろい

*2025-07-30, version 1.2.9*

ほんまに最高におもろい。もう少し時代を分けて欲しい。
