The Sengoku Era Rises Once More A Large-Scale Historical Strategy SLG War returns to Japan in an age of ambition, alliances, and shifting frontlines. Step into the Sengoku era, command powerful Generals, and shape the course of history through strategy rather than force alone. ■ Season-Based Warfare This title features a season-based strategy system, returning players to the Sengoku era with each new campaign. Fight alongside alliance members to pursue shared seasonal objectives. Rankings are determined by territory control and season goal progression. At the start of every new season, territories are reset and new content is introduced. Players may realign their chosen faction each season, while balance adjustments ensure that every campaign begins on an even battlefield—where planning, coordination, and timing matter more than legacy power. ■ Free March Across the Battlefield March freely across the map of Japan using a real-time free march system, enabling rapid tactical responses and dynamic engagements. Siege battles demand constant awareness of enemy alliance counterattacks. Multiple march routes prevent concentrated pressure from high-strength forces. Victory depends on coordination, role distribution, and alliance-level strategy. The battlefield is never static—frontlines shift as decisions unfold in real time. ■ Deep Tactical Combat Victory is decided before the battle begins. Combine Generals, troop types, siege weapons, and combat techniques to create your own tactical approach. Battles take place on a 3×3 tactical grid, with up to four units deployable per engagement. Pre-battle formations and unit composition have a decisive impact on outcomes. Troop types counter one another, while synergy between Generals and their skills can turn the tide of battle. Adapt your strategy to the objective at hand: Catapults to break castle defenses Ballistae to strike rear formations War Drums to bolster allied forces Shield Wagons to withstand cavalry charges Every move matters. ■ Premium Visual Presentation Experience the Sengoku era through a refined, grounded visual style. Generals are rendered in high-detail character models, from armor and attire to weapon craftsmanship. A weighty, realistic art direction brings the era to life, creating an immersive sense of scale and presence on the battlefield. ■ Generals Brought to Life by a Star-Studded Cast Over 200 playable Generals appear throughout the game. Each is fully portrayed through an all-star Japanese voice cast, delivering performances that capture the ambition, resolve, and humanity of the Sengoku era.
