Hardcore Gamer Writes "Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening isn't casual friendly, but like most endeavors can be a worthwhile game for those willing to invest the time."
Today Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year, including the period between April 2023 and September 2023.
The more experienced and patient of strategy fans are sure to enjoy the newest entry in one of Japan’s longest-running gaming franchises, but newcomers might struggle to get into it due to its deep learning curve and conspicuously limited tutorials.
I have fond memories of watching other people trying to play older entries in the series, but this is the first time playing one and to be honest, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options at play.
I hear that. The amount of options compared to the older entries is staggering. I'm planning on playing this one next year I think or maybe the previous one, I haven't decided yet.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "I personally wouldn’t return to this game in the future, even if they do manage to bring over the Japanese audio so it doesn’t sound like a 70s martial arts dub. The amount of detail is intense, the campaigns are especially long, and the exceptional animated sequences are few and far between from simply staring at a small map and even smaller menus to do a multitude of tasks. This game is definitely for someone, and, if you’re even remotely interested in Japanese history, this is an incredible feat of a title. But it’s too big of an ask for too little of a reward. I’ll let history stay history."
I remember playing a great like this way back on the NES. It covered Genghis Khan though. I had zero idea what to do as a kid but I played it anyway for at least a few hours over time. 😅 The genre is not my cup of tea these days.
