The game allows you to pick from 7 different Worlords that will control your army. The game have loads of features, but it still gives you lots of gameplay fun. When you start, you pick your Shogun (King). Each one starts you with different men and land. In the game mode, you can advance with your men and buildings. You can even hire assasins to kill messengers and Shoguns, though ussualy they are just replaced by his heir. Your Shogun may also die in battle and can also be assasinated. Don't worry, you can also have a wife and children. You can only win the game by conquering every land. You do not actually fight but just control the units. Though it's more a stratagest game than a combat game so dont expect to be killing yourself. The game is fairly old now so dont expect online, brilliant graphics and loads more. For a similar game were you can fight, try looking at Samurai Warriors 2: Empiers.
