Premise: | How would you like to fight a war, with all the resources of a modern military force at your disposal? That is the basic premise behind this popular series of Japanese strategy sims - so popular that at least one port was made for every major gaming console and home computer system in Japan at the time. I've also been informed that its descendants continue to be produced for the newer systems. |
Impressions: | If you are a strategy buff, then you will go ape over what are the most sophisticated wargaming titles to be found for the platform. If you are an arcade gamer, look elsewhere - you will get bored fast. |
Variations: | Advanced Daisenryaku (1988, aka Advanced Military
Commander - a true historical wargaming sim, as you get to take on the role of
Adolf Hitler [!] as he conquers Europe during the initial stages of World War II) Super Daisenryaku (1989, aka Airfield Battle, Taisengata Daisenryaku, Super Dai, Sato Raiden Sengo - ditches the historical perspective in favor of a pure hex-map battle sim) |
