Meiji Ishin — About this game
A Famicom work set at the end of the Edo period, where you can experience Ryoma Sakamoto's journey and the war that overthrew the Shogunate. The first part is an adventure where you talk to people and increase your comrades as you travel around the country, interspersed with training at the dojo and battles while traveling. Sword battles are not just a matter of command selection, but a unique mechanism in which players look at colored balls that appear on the enemy's body and match the direction and attack/defense. I want to recover my life at the inn and use the temples and shops to prepare for my next trip. In the second part, you govern your domain, prepare troops and supplies, and go to war with the shogunate. The comrades you gathered in the first part will also be involved in the second half, so even if you can raise an army, it makes sense to expand your network without giving up immediately. The way you think about things changes dramatically between the first half, when you follow clues in the conversation, and the second half, when you make decisions based on limited resources.
