User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
For new entrants into the series, I recommend Sphere of influence. For people looking for the best NA, I recommend Iron Triangle This is decent, but many scenarios will go the same way regardless of your actions or ability. There are many aspects of this game I enjoy, but not as great compared to Sphere of Influence or Iron Triangle.
I had a good time unifying Japan as Oda Nobunaga, but you can start as the lord of any domain. The entire game is built around the battles and there is very little story or developing the country besides components that are directly connected to the battle. The strategizing around the battles was very satisfying, but the defensive fortresses are too overpowered that they could not be taken down without spamming the covert missions.
By far the most flexible NA game, it's also got a smooth, (relatively) intuitive UI, excellent graphics, and the always fantastic character art. There are enough interlocking systems within the game and the 'just one more turn/season' urge is strong in this one. Recommended if you're looking to get a toe into the NA/ROTK genre - the tutorial is more of a task list, but the in-game help is fantastic and there are numerous guides online to get a newbie up and running their clan to take on the Oda someday!
