Name: Taikou Rishinden
Author/Vendor: Koei
Released: 1993
Type: RPG
Language: Japanese
Premise: Set in the late 16th century during the unification of Japan, this game follows the exploits of a ronin (i.e. masterless samurai) who's out to get a job with one of the local warlords.
Impressions: Has touches of both Daikoukai and the Nobunaga's Ambition series, along with some surprisingly infectious music for a Koei RPG. If you can handle the language and haven't tried one of Koei's sims before, then this might be a good place to start.
Variations: Also known on the Web as 1650 or Dai 1650.
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X
