“Wash blood with blood” – ancient Japanese proverb
Rise to power in Feudal Japan with your Samurai family in the epic Grand Strategy Sengoku
In this deep character driven strategy game, you play as the head of an illustrious Samurai family.

Honor and duty vie with survival in the delicate dance of power, conquest and betrayal as you attempt to unite the land of the Rising Sun through a combination of deal-making with foreign powers, sending your powerful samurai armies into battle against your enemies, and unleashing shadowy Ninja clans under the cover of darkness to assassinate your rivals!

Features

Control a noble family in Feudal Japan
Rise in influence and power within your clan and go on to claim the ultimate prize
Conquer and grow while rewarding your most valued retainers in your bid to become Shogun

Looks interesting will give it a shot, have you played it, any first impressions?

They certainly aren't trying to hide the fact that it really looks like TW: Shogun. I don't know if it'll be good, but the screens do look like someone who's trying to cash in on Total War...

Played demo last night, it's going to be purely about management and not so much focus on the actual combat as TW:S has. This is not nessacerally bad if it's your thing, it's quite deep things you have to do and could be really nice. Though personally I do prefer the actual combat part over micro management.
