Description

Tenkatoitsu is a game of strategy and simulation, set in the tumultuous world of 16th century Japan. The game takes players through three pivotal battles of the Sengoku Jidai era, including Yamazaki, Nagakute, and Sekigahara, as they navigate the complex web of clan alliances and rivalries. With its unique chit-pull system and emphasis on orders and inertia, the game challenges players to think critically about their battle plans and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the battlefield. As players take on the roles of legendary leaders like Hashiba Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, they'll need to balance short-term tactical decisions with long-term strategic goals, all while managing the intricacies of siege warfare and zone control. With a playtime of 180 to 420 minutes, Tenkatoitsu is a game that rewards patience, skill, and a deep understanding of the game's complex mechanics, making it a must-play for fans of wargames and Japanese history.
