If you are like me, a lover of RTS but one that sucks at them, this review is for you. I bought this game back in 2011, I've never had a gaming PC, so I play this game on the lowest graphic and all those things that I will not pretend to know. I am also a casual gamer, that is why I only have 169 hrs played. However, if there is a game I wish I could play all day and without the penalty of having low capacity for the game (I can't play with huge armies, for example), is this. I love it, the fact that you have to go from province to province and capture them or make them your vasals, is an amazing mechanic, not only that, you have to be a political leader as well as a warlord. At first sight all of this sounds and looks simple, but it is not, I you are like me, you will head on to the game, thinking that it is similar to Age of Empires or any base building RTS. It is not, the fact that you have a huge army of ashigarus does not guarantee that you will win against an army of warrior monks or samurais. I know that this review is really simple an has "noob" and "casual" written all over it, but as I stated in the beginning, this is a review for people like me.

I cannot recommend this game enough. If you enjoy war/political history and in top of that have an interest for Japanese culture, then this game is for you, provided that you also like RTS games.
