About this game
Special Notice for Windows 11 Users
We’ve completed additional testing on Windows 11 systems, and the games are now running flawlessly in our tests. However, since hardware configurations can vary between devices, we still recommend trying the demo before purchasing to ensure everything works smoothly on your specific setup.
Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy the experience!
The Shogun's Throne is Vacant
The Shogun’s seat sits empty. The Emperor’s influence is fading. The lands of Hinomoto are fractured by endless war as every clan fights for power.
It is time for a new leader to rise. Crush your enemies and unite the realm under your banner.
A Hybrid Strategy Experience
Experience a deep 2D grand strategy game that combines turn-based empire management with real-time tactical (RTS) battles. Whether you choose the fierce Takeda, the cunning Mori, or the ambitious Oda, your path to victory depends on your strategy.
Key Features
Campaign Management: Plan your conquest in a turn-based system. Expand your territory, manage your influence, and outplay rival clans on a beautiful pixel-art map.
Real-Time Tactical Battles: Lead your armies in massive RTS battles. Positioning, terrain, and unit synergy are the keys to victory.
1:1 Unit Representation: Experience large-scale combat with up to 2,000 vs 2,000 individual units on screen at once, fully optimized for performance.
Build Your Domain: Manage your economy and upgrade your settlements. Turn small villages into powerful fortresses to fund your war machine.
Research and Evolve: Research new technologies to improve your military and economy to stay ahead of your rivals.
Flexible Battalion Control: Combine battalions into one large force or split them into smaller units for flexible tactics. Use Ctrl + Selection to move mini-battalions and flank your enemies.
Latest Update: 2 May 2026 (Ver. 1.24)
This massive update entirely shifts the landscape of the Sengoku period. We are introducing deep dynasty-building mechanics, completely overhauling the AI for major clans, and bringing much-needed balance to the battlefield. Prepare to forge your legacy!
Major Features: Bloodlines & Legends
New Family & Dynasty Building System: You are no longer just commanding an army; you are building a lineage. Secure the future of your clan through generations.
The Legends Arrive (Historical Roster): Play as and recruit highly detailed historical warlords with accurate base stats reflecting their real-world legends.
Political Marriage Arrangements: Use your Gold (Dowry) and Action Points to secure powerful spouses from minor clans. Buy your legacy and breed the ultimate genetic lineage for your non-historical officers.
Child Education System: Heirs are born as blank slates. Invest Action Points to manually train them, push their potentials to the absolute limit, and rewrite history before they come of age.
New Battlefield Unit - "Seii Taishogun": Your commanding general is now physically represented on the tactical map! They project powerful, dynamic aura buffs to nearby troops based entirely on their personal stats (Charisma, Intel, Melee, etc.).
AI & Combat Balance
Major Clan AI Revamp: The 7 playable Daimyo factions now utilize a completely unique, advanced AI logic. No more falling victim to random minor clans! The major warlords will now expand aggressively and provide a genuine, terrifying challenge for your conquest.
Ranged Combat Nerf: We have addressed the "Overpowered Ranged Meta." Arrows, bullets, and shurikens no longer ignore enemy defense. Defense skill matter now. Ranged units will require actual strategy rather than just blind firing!
Tactical Terrain Generation: The random terrain generator has been highly optimized. Expect more complex, challenging, and tactically interesting mountainous battlemaps. High ground has never been more vital.
Visuals & Optimizations
Vector-Based Campaign Map: The strategic campaign map has been entirely rebuilt using vector graphics technology. Enjoy crystal clear, razor-sharp visuals no matter how far you zoom in, alongside a refined art style with less AI-generated reliance.
Under-the-Hood Optimizations: Smoother performance across the board during massive late-game campaigns.
Bug Fixes
Fixed the Teleport Exploit: A very subtle (but entirely game-breaking) bug found by our brilliant testers allowed players to magically teleport an army across the map immediately after claiming an empty city in certain condition. The space-time continuum of the Sengoku era has been restored.
Fixed army under re-training can join an army outside city.
Previous Update: April 13, 2026 (Ver. 1.23)
New Features:
Demo Freeplay Mode: Explore the game mechanics in the newly added Demo version.
Tutorial: Added a "How To Play" button for a quick guide on game mechanics.
Seven Playable Clans: Choose from 7 unique clans, each with its own technology tree and unique units.
Observer Mode: Watch the AI clans fight for supremacy on their own.
Multilingual Support: Support for multiple languages added for a global audience.
Bug Fixes & Optimizations:
Campaign Map AI: * Fixed rebels spawning directly on top of cities.
Fixed AI spawning and sortieing on incorrect grid coordinates.
Battle Map AI: * Fixed pathfinding loops when units moved outside the map boundaries.
Fixed errors occurring when field battles started too close to a city.
Fixed army deployment being reversed in specific scenarios.
Performance: Optimized code to prevent stuttering during massive 2000 vs 2000 battles.
UI/UX: Fixed button placement issues when changing screen resolutions mid-game.

Previous version contain some experimental code that can cause memory leak, cause stutter in the start menu and may prevent the game to load at all..Rebellion mechanic & Religion mechanic this is the culprit of the memory leak.. when alone they seems fine but during game after earn Devout Buddhist tech or Christianity Conversion they will trigger memory leak since calculating rebellion chance and creating rebellion happens back and forth almost indefinitely... Sorry this is late game tech so the testing is still lacking.Optimized texture... we create a modification of previous version of campaign map, cutting huge filesize and making the game runs smoother and easier for low Vram machine.We create new loot bonuses for each battle, this to help player earn more gold in early game.We also create a new menu displaying various building, it's effect, etc etc..We also cutting a huge chunk of experimental code that is not used (yet) in this build some of them are:Who knows some experimental code causes trouble for win 11 users as previously reported in our community forum..
