What it is
Taiko Risshiden is a turn-based strategy game by Koei, first released in 1992 and set during Japan’s Warring States period. Its story follows Hideyoshi Toyotomi’s rise from a common foot soldier to Chief Adviser to the Emperor. The game is available on Steam for Windows and includes single-player, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. The listed platforms also include Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Koei developed the game, and KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD. is listed as its publisher. The Steam release date is April 18, 2017. Its historical setting and focus on one figure’s ascent give the strategy experience a narrative frame: players follow Hideyoshi’s struggles as his position changes. Those seeking a turn-based game centered on this period can approach it as a story-led strategy entry, rather than a multiplayer title; only single-player is listed.
