Taiko Risshiden V DX is KOEI TECMO’s remaster of a historical role-playing and simulation game set in sixteenth-century Japan. The key buying caveat is language: Steam lists English as unsupported. The Japanese official product site lists Nintendo Switch and Windows editions, including a physical Switch package, but check the exact regional listing and package before buying.
What is Taiko Risshiden V DX?
Taiko Risshiden V DX—also romanized on some official pages as Taikou Risshiden V DX—is a KOEI TECMO remaster of Taiko Risshiden V. It is not the rhythm-game series Taiko no Tatsujin. Steam describes a role-playing premise in which players take on Toyotomi Hideyoshi and other real historical figures, pursuing their ambitions amid sixteenth-century Japan’s wars. Steam categorizes the game as both RPG and Simulation.

KOEI TECMO calls it “A remaster of the classic ‘Taiko Risshiden V’ with new features!” The Steam store gives its release date as May 18, 2022. View the Steam product listing.
Does Taiko Risshiden V DX have English?
No, not according to Steam’s language table: English is marked unsupported. Steam lists Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese interface and subtitle support. If you need English, do not assume another platform, imported package, or regional edition adds it; confirm the language details on the exact listing before purchase.

Is Taiko Risshiden V DX available on Switch?
Yes. KOEI TECMO’s Japanese product site lists Nintendo Switch and Windows versions, with packaged and download editions. Its standard Japanese retail price is listed as ¥4,950 including tax; that is the Japanese site’s listed price, not a verified current price in other regions. The site links the packaged Switch edition to Amazon Japan. See the official Japanese editions page.
The official Windows package is not a disc installation: it contains a Steam CD key and no DVD-ROM, and requires Steam authentication and network access. The site also lists Windows download options. Availability, language information, price, and stock can differ by region and retailer, so check the specific edition being sold.

What comes in the Taiko Risshiden V DX Treasure Box?
The 30th Anniversary Treasure Box was offered for Nintendo Switch and Windows. Its listed contents included the game, a reprint e-book download code for Taiko Risshiden V Maniacs, a 30th-anniversary memorial book, and a five-CD collection of music from the series. The e-book code’s download deadline was May 18, 2025, which has passed. The physical books and CDs are distinct from that expired digital benefit; check the package and seller’s listing to confirm what is included. KOEI TECMO said contents could change without notice.
The digital Windows Treasure Box included PDF versions of the e-book and memorial book, MP3 historical music, and the game. KOEI TECMO also states that distribution of the limited-time “Cat General” mode ended; buyers should not expect to obtain it as a current bonus. These edition details are on the official product page.

What should buyers know about sales figures?
KOEI TECMO Holdings reported 180,000 copies for Japan/Asia in its first-half financial-results presentation dated October 31, 2022. That is a dated, region-scoped figure—not a current worldwide lifetime-sales total. Read the October 2022 financial-results presentation.
