Nobunaga’s Ambition
Nobunaga’s Ambition stands out as a strategic turn-based game that was among the earliest in this genre. In this game, players command armies in an effort to unify Japan. You can choose from various historical scenarios with influential daimyos, or lords/generals, which will shape the narrative based on your selections.
Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness
The fourth installment in the Nobunaga series, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness, brings fresh updates to the mechanics that fans are familiar with. This title builds on the legacy of its predecessors while enhancing gameplay.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire is a strategy simulation game where players are tasked with managing cities and armies in their quest to unite China under a single ruler. Players must carefully balance resources like food and their citizens’ happiness, while also reacting to the actions of other lords, much like in Sid Meier’s Civilization.
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is the second entry in the Uncharted Waters series and takes players on a historical adventure centered around piracy. This game emphasizes sailing and captures many elements of maritime life from its historical setting. Additionally, it features a dueling mini-game option that can sometimes substitute for regular battles that occur between ship fleets.
You can now play all four of these titles on the Nintendo SNES app, among numerous others. For more details about these newly added games, check out the video linked below.
