Summary

The Battle Lines are Drawn! Welcome to the twelfth century Japan! Your bitter rivals, the Taira clan, have murdered your father and subverted the emperor. In an epic quest to become SHOGUN, and thus redeem the family honor, you’ll command vast armies of samurai warriors; defend yourself against ninja assassins; lay siege against mighty fortresses; negotiate alliances; and confront your enemies in personal combat!
