#Ascension towards the stars kanji series#

Taking into account the nature of the genre IвЂ™m going with a screenshot variant on this one. I know this is definitely the reason why I chose to go with Ascension for this LetвЂ™s Play seeing as I have devious intent for that one in mind. Experience the reality of an officer of the warring states from differing perspectives!

In this release we include вЂњOfficer PlayвЂќ for the first time in the series, allowing players to advance from retainer to Castle Lord and then on to Daimyo. There is some debate about preferences here, but I think a lot of people will agree Ascension is a major addition to the game on sheer grounds that it adds Officer Play which has become a well known fact in RotTK series, but makes its debut in NobunagaвЂ™s Ambition here.

What does that mean? Well, itвЂ™s the improved version of the game as opposed to more traditional form of expansion Koei has been doing for the series for a long time. Yet as you may have noticed thereвЂ™s also вЂњAscensionвЂќ in the title up there. Also the numerous in game procedures required in making progress towards unification has seen a major revamp in all areas. The latest installment has numerous enhancements and features to itвЂ™s predecessor вЂњNobunagaвЂ™s Ambition: SouzouвЂќ by expressing the Warring eraвЂ™s highlight, the вЂњBattle of SekigaharaвЂќ in the highest quality ever to date in the franchiseвЂ™s history. Take the role of the legendary Warring States Daimyo (Warlords) such as вЂњNobunaga OdaвЂќ and вЂњShingen TakedaвЂќ to work your way towards unification by making best use of domestic affairs, diplomacy and battles against the fierce Warlord neighbors. The renowned historical simulation series returns with enhanced features in вЂњNobunagaвЂ™s Ambition: Sphere on InfluenceвЂќ. Instead of spending even more time putting together some ever clumsy description IвЂ™ll just let the official material work for me on this one:

Think of them as Japanese Europa Universalis or perhaps more aptly Crusader Kings, yet one thing thing hold in much higher regard is historical accuracy wherever possible. Now, some of you might associate that name with Musou aka Warriors games where you wander across battlefields killing enemies in their hundreds, but NobunagaвЂ™s Ambition and its sibling series Romance of the Three Kingdoms are proper Koei developed games as opposed to solely published and are decidedly on the slower paced strategy side of things. NobunagaвЂ™s Ambition: Sphere of Influence - Ascension is, at the moment at least, the latest entry in a long running series of grand strategy games coming to us from Koei. дёЂ Sphere of Influence? Ascension? What is this nonsense, you white devil? дёЂ To keep this part brief IвЂ™ll just say weвЂ™ll all be learning along the way and feedback from some of you who may have played is more than welcome. Mind you, I have played couple of previous NobunagaвЂ™s Ambition titles to greater extent but I chose this one for couple of reasons IвЂ™ll also talk about later. If I had to pin that on something it would be on my lack of experience seeing as I only have one half-finished game behind me. IвЂ™ll get more into what it actually is down under and just want to say upfront IвЂ™m not not very good at this game.

Game of choice, something youвЂ™ve deduced from the title surely, is NOBUNAGAвЂ™S AMBITION: Sphere of Influence - Ascension. ItвЂ™s a sobering experience when you go into it fully aware it might not even get off the ground for more than couple of updates, but I still want to do it if only because itвЂ™ll be educational and something new. Time for my first proper LetвЂ™s Play ever.
