Nobunaga's Ambition

About this game

Nobunaga's Ambition is a 1986 strategy video game developed and published by Koei for several platforms such as IBM PC compatibles, Amiga, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super NES, and Sega Genesis. A part of Koei's "Historical Simulation" line of titles, it is focused in the Sengoku period of the history of Japan. It is the second game in the Nobunaga's Ambition series and the first Nobunaga's Ambition title to be released in English. The player has the objective of unifying Japan as Oda Nobunaga or as any of the other daimyos present in the game. Several revisions were made to the gameplay since the first game, as well as a 50-province mode which expanded the game's map to feature all of Japan.

Players take on the role of one of the main characters of the period, Nobunaga Oda, Shingen Takeda, Kenshin Uesugi, or others and try to unite the 50 kingdoms of Japan, from Ezo in the north to Kyushu in the south, under their own rule.
