Shogun Total War
Brand New - Factory Sealed Jewel Case
Feudal Japan: a time of immense bravery, loyalty and courage, and a time of deception, betrayal and murder. Enter the world of Shogun: Total War the most ambitious, epic, and visually spectacular real-time strategy game ever created. Battle to the death for the ultimate honor: become Shogun, supreme dictator of all Japan.
Japan - 1542 - a country in turmoil. The last Shogunate has collapsed leaving a nation divided into numerous factions.
Each led by a Daimyo (Feudal Lord), each scheming, murdering and waging war to become supreme ruler. The Emperor is powerless - a puppet of whichever faction controls Kyoto.
Into this melting pot comes the first European explorers bringing guns, religion...and disease. Out of this chaos will emerge only one Daimyo who will have mastered all the varied skills that make up the Art of War - politics, economics, subterfuge, strategic warfare and battlefield tactics.
Only one will become Shogun.
Imagine a battlefield of rolling hills, forests, rivers and villages stretching off to the horizon, fading gently into the distant mountains. A castle sits on a hill to one side. In the valley below thousands of Samurai arrayed in battle formation await your orders, in the distance the banner of the enemy flutter in the breeze. A dust cloud to the East signals a third approaching army - whether friend or foe remains to be seen. A silence falls across the battlefield.
