Turn-based strategy where you pick one of nine feudal Japanese clans and fight to become shogun. Each clan has distinct strengths and a customizable warlord who gains experience. Between real-time battles, you manage provinces, research tech, and deploy agents—ninjas assassinate rivals, geishas gather intel. Diplomacy and betrayal matter as much as armies. The campaign map shows 16th-century Japan split into warring territories you'll conquer or ally with. Build infrastructure in captured regions, move armies across the map, then zoom into battles commanding thousands of samurai and archers. It's about long-term planning between fights, not just winning skirmishes. Fans of methodical conquest over dozens of hours will find plenty to micromanage.
