Shingen the Ruler NES Game Cartridge

Shingen the Ruler was released for the NES in 1990. It was developed and published by HOT B. The game takes place during Japan’s Sengoku period. The player will take control of Takeda Shingen. He is based inside Shinano and Kyoto’s holding. The game’s goal is trying to take over central Japan, spanning from Kamakura to Kyoto. Gameplay will start in 1545 in January. The player can make the decision of one action for a province per month, up to four provinces. The player will need to build an army and train them so they can cultivate provinces and break or make alliances with the neighboring daimyo. Random disasters, like floods, and events that are predefined, like Shingen’s father’s death, are featured in the game. Takeda Katsuyori, Shingen’s heir, could also be trained.

The combat in the game will consist of a skirmish on a field, then being followed with a battle taking place at a castle. Every holding’s castle and field will have various layouts. A battle system that is automatic will be provided and will calculate every army’s damage done. With an exception of General Su and General Li being in Noto’s holding, the warlords that remain are depicted within the game will be real life historical figures. Most of the families will have just a single heir. The game’s Ikko Sect will remain the same through the game while the family of the Ashikagas will be the only ones having a secondary heir who is Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was Ashikaga Yoshiteru’s younger brother historically. Because of the English version’s limitations, any names that have sixteen or more letters were shortened by dropping a component in a given name.
