Nobunaga's Ambition: Iron Triangle Review Accessing the interface is relatively easy. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on how much you fervently love the series. GamesRadar+ is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. This page works best with JavaScript. Naturally, this is a game that asks a huge time investment (and the audience knows this and wants it), so it shouldn’t deter Nobunaga fans. You don’t have the ability to zoom in close to the action, and what little you can zoom into is just flat-out horrid looking. Developer: Koei Fame is hard to get in the game, awarded for winning battles, researching techs, forming alliances, and so forth. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. This overlay cannot be hidden, which means in large scale, open battles, you have multiple groups – sometimes involving as many as four clans, and multiple groups per clan – fighting against each other, with overlays thrown all over the place that you cannot hide or put into focus, meaning you have to put the game into planning mode every time you want to see how many troops you have left, considering the fact that it’s almost impossible to see how fast everyone’s losing troops in larger battles.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII, you can choose to bring an end to chaos or fuel personal ambitions. Control and Gameplay: Mediocre Release Date: January 27, 2009. Their hits are all-time-favourites, but their misses tend to either be quickly forgotten or scorned. This is a good game for the kind of players it has in mind, but the problem is that in this day and age this game does not really have the fan base it used to. This is fine, but every other group, including your enemies, have the same overlay. With an overall similar style, Nobunaga's Ambition is based more firmly in history, favoring accuracy to what is generally agreed to have happened during the era over being accurate to a literary epic based on what happened during the era. All Nobunaga’s Ambition games take place in the latter part of the Sengoku period of Japanese history, starting with Oda Nobunaga’s rise to leadership of the Owari province upon the death of his father Nobuhide, and ending with the unification of Japan under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which transitioned into ther Tokugawa shogunite started by Tokugawa Ieyasu. But thats where the game comes in, allowing you to play as the crafty Nobunaga or any of the many warlords fighting for power at the time. It’s not just about what Nobunaga did in the era, it’s about what everyone else did as well. If you like this type of game, with its layers upon layers of menus, crazy levels of complexity, and don’t mind the distinct lack of “real” battle that’s found in a traditional RTS, the gameplay in Nobunaga's Ambition: Iron Triangle is massively satisfying. While the enemy areas that were effected seemed to be rather untouched (they all still had full troop numbers and no damaged buildings despite the hit) but my area was the only one to have lost all but two of its districts, and more then 2/3s of its soldiers, leaving me unable to defend myself as the untouched and unaffected neighboring areas attacked me one after the other. The log you can get from the pause menu doesn’t tell you what you miss in this area, so it serves as little more than a distraction. There are no such problems here; Iron Triangle seems like a love letter to old school Koei fans with it’s design, leaving an extremely ugly game that actually goes backwards in the looks department. An extension of the 12th release in the Nobunaga’s Ambition series, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Iron Triangle, has appeared at the Steam Store as Nobunaga’s Ambition: Iron Triangle w/Power-up Kit! Like most Koei games that are historically based, some rulers have stacked decks when it comes to the skill of their officers. Fortunately, you're also provided with a solid number of them; 1,000 officers from the era are carefully represented by their skills and weaknesses. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. You research technology by first having at least 3 officers who have a good rank in that tech. He specializes in issues relating to industry business, politics and law. Nobunaga’s Ambition: Iron Triangle is so overloaded with information, so deep, and such a time drain that I cannot recommend it to anyone even remotely casual about the strategy genre. This game is excellent. However, in the right mindset, both quirks can be wonderful things, especially when the complexity also reveals just how deep and varied the mechanics can be. We were amazed at how much time the game swallowed, meaning time was flying, meaning, well, we all know what that means. The parents are called “districts” in the game, and there’s a limited amount of districs you can build. It was an unbalanced mess of a game. Like other games in this series, the officers, locations, and situations are all according to actual historical events, with the exception of the fictional scenario. Another big new feature is the Active (real-time) phase, where once you’ve deployed your officers and/or troops, you “unpause” the action and events occur naturally. Battles are realistic in the sense that, the longer your armies spend away from their homes, the quicker morale decreases. The one issue with the phase-switching system of Iron Triangle is that while it brings real-time strategy to a level of thinking on par with turn-based traditions of old, it also slows down gameplay immensely. The game also seems to be unfair with prisoner catching. Equipping the same type of skill increases the chance of this happening. I have to admit going forward that I’m a whore for Koei games. The Iron Triangle in the title refers to the three elements: technology, governance, and military might. Civic duties aren’t perfect, however. Receive news and offers from our other brands? Agreed about Rise to Power (I didn’t like it), although it wasn’t difficult at all, more like a pushover, with too much pointless micro-managing, with dull combat.
