Fresh from wreaking havoc on the vast fields of the Continent, the sword-wielding warrior Rance has reached the eastern nation of Nippon.

With his loyal companion Sill by his side, Rance hopes to enjoy Nippon's hot springs!

Along the way, he somehow becomes the ruler of one of Nippon's feudal states, but Rance isn't satisfied just yet. On the battlefield and beyond, Rance never stops until he gets what he wants, and what our hero wants is... power! Thus, Rance charges out on his quest to unite Nippon and conquer the whole country!

Manage territories, armies, resources, and heroes in a unique blend of grand strategy and RPG gameplay while following the story of Rance in his conquest of Nippon. Your choices will shape the landscape of the ongoing civil war and the rise and fall of different clans in their own bids for power. You will oversee different territories, strengthen your domain, and decide how to expand your influence each turn, balancing offense, defense, and development. When battle comes, the commanders and troops you assign will clash with enemy forces in tactical, turn-based combat, where smart use of your characters' strengths can turn the tide of battle.
