Alt. Names:
Ransei no Hasha, 乱世の覇者, 天下統一
Tenka Tōitsu is a historical strategy game for the Sega Genesis, initiating a long-running series. Its setting is the Sengoku period of feudal Japan, beginning in the year 1551.
The player assumes the role of a daimyo, a feudal lord, during this era of conflict. Gameplay involves commanding military units with a focus on tactical positioning and movement, similar to chess. A player typically manages around a dozen units, issuing orders for them to attack, hold position, or withdraw.
While sharing thematic and historical similarities with other strategy titles of the period, its approach to presenting these elements is noted for being more direct. The strategic challenge lies in effectively maneuvering a limited force.
