    Thinking about Sengoku Turb. Not so much the game itself, just sort of walking around the house saying "Sengoku Turb" to myself over and over again.

    Sengoku TURB is a game designed to flash-fry a certain kind of person's brain if it hits them at the right time in their neurological development. If it ever gets an english translation it will trigger the belated cultural renaissance it deserves

    This was a mock-up game they made in a short time to get accustomed with the new iteration of their Engine. It is the Crusader Kings 2 Alpha, but set in Japan. Clunky, and lacks depth. If you like Japan and know its history you wont have fun with it. Pick up Crusader Kings 2 in a big sale, and then play the mod based on Japan.

    Kamidori Alchemy Meister is a game I always recommend to people who want to explore B-side Japanese hidden gems. It's an eroge, but very different from something like Sengoku Rance - is all consensual and quite cute sometimes. And it's a kickass tactical RPG with an alchemy shop management layer.

    Sengoku is basically just Crusader Kings but in Japan. And I believe it was most likely a testbed for the CK2 mechanics and systems. But seriously, why does it have better graphics than CK2? :\

    Honestly, I‘m kind of disappointed that my first outright negative review has to be a Paradox game, considering how much I love all their other works, but when it comes to Sengoku - Just don't bother. From what I can tell it takes most of its aspects from the early release versions of Crusader Kings 2 and actually shares a few of the early bugs from CK2 which have long since been patched by now, which is frustrating. Mechanically speaking, Sengoku leaves a lot to be desired, especially…

    Played this game now after hundreds of hours of Crusader Kings 2. Kind of funny because Paradox games have a steep learning curve, but if you play Sengoku right after CK2, you won't need to learn anything. In fact you'll have to unlearn some stuff that you know works in CK2. Its gameplay is mostly political maneuvers than wars and battles. While Sengoku has the stable basis of a good strategy game, its biggest problem is a feeling of emptiness and incompleteness.…

They could make a MONSTER of a Feudal Japan game. Ii and Sanada clans ftw. I loved this game. Well worth this low price.

    Sengoku is not an in-depth historical simulator like Paradox's main-title series. It is instead a very simple model of Japanese feudalism whose focus is placed on fast-paced military expansion, with the end-goal of conquering 50% of Japan and becoming its Shogun. Sadly, continued development of this game was abandoned in favor of the far more robust Crusader Kings 2. Modders have long since cloned Sengoku within that game, making this one redundant at this point. That being said, if you really…

    A border line great game from our favorite grand strategy game maker Paradox interactive. This game was made before CKII and instead of diplomacy/plots/managment this game focus much more towards WAR. There is an honor system in place for you to manage and limit the amount of actions you can take but every situation always leads to war. The enemy doesn't stop and wait for you. AI works together to stop you and they work hard. They can be enemy with each for many years but once you show threat…

    Imagine an EU4 game where every nation is constantly at war with each other and when you conquer a province it immediately is annexed. The couple of other game mechanics are either completely broken (because it's just blobbing) or don't work (because they didn't play test this). Even if this game was on sale for a dollar, don't buy it. I have never seen such an unfinished game, and even Starcraft custom maps have more depth and game mechanics than this.

    This is lovely thematically. very much in demand from the depth of Japanese culture/history, and has the unique system of 'honour', but the aesthetics are undermined by the beauty of Shogun: Total 2's interface and the mechanics are far inferior to CKII: it's a shallow, weak counterpart to alternatives. I'd highly recommend waiting for Sengoku 2, which is plausible from the popularity of Japan's turbulent military past, it'll likely have higher artistic merit honouring Japanese traditions and…

    Sengoku is a grand strategy game set in real time exactly like Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings. The diplomacy and politics of the game area really good and if you like the time period, the sengoku era or japan in general i highly suggest it. The gameplay/UI is similar to other Paradox games so you'll feel at home soon while playing. Overally i highly suggest it! 5/5.

Constant pop-ups of vassals demanding kokujin titles (seriously, only seconds pass between each time I see that same pop-up) and shallow gameplay turn this game into something which brings me more annoyance than enjoyment.

This is a much easier game to stomach.
