00:00Japan needs a strong leader who can unite the warring provinces.

00:08One distinguished clan is ready to take the first step on the road to total domination over Japan.

00:16This is Shogun's Empire by the developers HomeNet Games and it was released on the 5th of September

00:212024. About the game, this is a strategy based game and you are in good old Japan and I mean

00:28old, like medieval typos. Build up your army and battle to take over Japan one prefecture at a time.

00:35Forge alliances to keep others off your back and to gain extra resources every month. You are playing

00:41in god view, controlling your army, where to go, when to shoot. It's turn-based, so you click and go

00:47when you are finished. If you don't feel like going through all the strategy yourself, you can always

00:52go into your menu and click automatic battle. It will give you a battle result prediction and then

00:57you can select a retreat and end the battle if you lose one unit or half of your army or you can

01:03just select no retreat. Then click resolve now and pray for the best possible outcome. A win with

01:09minimal losses. It also pays to keep your honour up to give you better trade deal prices and respect from

01:15other clans. Levels and size. There are a large amount of battlefields and scenarios, so each prefecture

01:21is different, so it's a fairly big size. Each scenario looks good. Sometimes it's amongst buildings,

01:27sometimes a castle, sometimes a wooden fort. Maybe it could be in the snow. It could maybe look a little

01:33more polished in the graphics, but they are still very very reasonable. Playable characters, weapons and

01:39levelling up options. There are 15 different clans you can choose from and they each rank from easy to

01:45ultra hard. And until you have had a few games in this, if on easy it feels like you're in ultra hard,

01:52so start off easy. Take time to learn what each troop can do and how effective or ineffective it

01:58is against different types of troops. There is a fair amount of different troops you can buy. You're

02:03going to have choices between archers, yaris, swords, close quarter guns, riflemen, fireworks which are

02:10effective for scaring cavalry horses, which damages them and also makes them run away. Then cannons and

02:16builders to build walls around for your armies to cover behind. And then ninjas who can scale castle

02:22walls and be invisible when amongst the cover of trees. You will start with the basics. Ayari, sword and

02:28archer. Each army needs a general and depending on the experience of your general, he can command a

02:34certain amount of battalions. You start with five, but you can also upgrade him and that will be

02:40able to add one more battalion per upgrade. To unlock better troops, you will need to gain things

02:45like a stable, a port and a castle and then rank them up to get different weapon troops. After each

02:52battle, the surviving soldiers will all rank up in experience. You can also rank up by training them

02:57for a certain amount of gold. This will make them more effective in battle. You also have rice fields

03:03you earn rice from to keep your troops fed and also which you can sell to earn gold. But each month

03:08the price of the rice will go up and it will go down. So buy when it's at its lowest and sell when

03:13it's at its highest to earn some extra gold. Mechanics. No issues with the mechanics. No crashes.

03:19Didn't come across any bugs. Everything worked just great. Everything looks good. The castles,

03:24cherry blossoms, villages, all looks like Japan. Though I do wish that when you picked automatic battle

03:30that it would play out a whole battle scene which would have a slider so you could select the speed at

03:35which to view it instead of just some sound effects and troops just falling to the floor where they

03:40stand. Controls. The controls are dead simple to learn. You will have them down in minutes as you

03:46are mostly selecting from menus and just moving stuff around. There's nothing complicated going on

03:51in here. Game menus. There are many menus to this game as you would expect from a strategy based game.

03:57I love the main home command room. It looks great and here you will get advice commands from your

04:02emperor and when you complete his tasks he will reward you with gold and maybe some personal

04:08troops of samurai warriors or something. And then there are scrolls on the table that allow you to

04:13control your clan management such as taxes, skills, income and relations, the rice market where you buy

04:20or sell rice and the calendar where you can end the month and start a new month for the monthly gold and

04:25rice income, new trade prices, another battle or move your army one space to another prefecture.

04:31My thoughts. I wasn't completely sold on this at first but after a few games, mostly losses,

04:37I soon started to warm up to it. Then I found I would be in the game for hours at a time. It really

04:42is so easy to lose a whole day in this game. It reminds me of the board game Risk which I used to

04:48love playing as a child and then I later bought that game on my iPad to play whilst I had free time

04:53when I worked on cruise ships. If you enjoy strategy based games and you want to lose hours of your life,

04:58then I highly recommend adding this one into your collection. Now as always, I thank you for

05:04giving me your time. If you're not subscribed already, please hit that subscribe button.

05:14Go!

05:19Retreating!

05:20Where to?

05:21No mercy!

05:22We need to run!

05:23Yes, Lord!

05:25To victory!

05:29Orders?

05:32Let's go!

05:39Let's go.

05:42Ready. You can't defeat us.

05:47Let's move.

05:50Yes, my lord.

05:51Die.

05:55We're going.

05:57Yes, lord.

06:05Absolutely.

06:09Congratulations on winning the battle.
