## What is Shogun AoD?

The era of the Shogun has begun. Pull out your katana and command your samurai on the battlefield to conquer feudal Japan.

Japan 1192. Numerous clans are at war to gain supremacy. Thanks to the growing power of your dynasty at the helm of your clan, you managed to gain the emperor 's admiration and be named Shogun. The enemy Daimyo prepare to challenge your samurai in battle with their armies. War looms.

Empower your armies by enlisting legendary samurai, hiring fearsome ronin and warrior monks, and importing deadly arquebuses from Europeans. Master the art of war by becoming a battlefield strategist.

Survive the betrayals and internal conflicts that will put your dynasty at risk by enlisting spies and ronin. Defend yourself from enemy ninjas by learning the art of Kendo with your katana. Step into the shoes of a Daimyo clan leader, and through military, economic, and diplomatic clashes let your shogunate and dynasty thrive until 1868.

Secure a long-lasting empire by educating your ronin to follow the Bushido (the way of the warrior) and preparing them to become feared and respected samurai, ready to succeed you to the title of Shogun until the last samurai, heir to your dynasty, conquers all of Japan.

### 3/5 — Poctures

*2024-02-13*

The game is ok and the music. Pls change the pictures of samurai and the noble ladies look like aged maikos. They could potentially wear refined clothes and a modern hairstyle. I play the age of dynasty and its much better and good to the eye. Food can be koku- rice and it possibly had other specific characteristics that would make the game more appealing. Consider title of shogun too. Add tea ceremony aspect for something.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-06-01*

Very in-depth. 

Well put together game play

### 3/5 — 재미는 있는데…

*2023-04-16*

재밌긴 한데 군영을 만들어서 2개의 군대를 생성했는데 팅겨요 그리고 오타가 은근 많긴 한데 게임에 제약을 줄 정돈 아니라서 저것만 아니먼 아직까진 재밌는듯
