The standard-bearer in historical simulation gaming, “Nobunaga’s Ambition”, is available at last on iPhone and iPod touch. This title is a strategic historical simulation game set against the backdrop of the struggle for power played out by the mighty warlords of Warring States-era Japan. You will play as one of these warlords (daimyo), among them the revolutionary Nobunaga Oda, the “Tiger of Kai” Shingen Takeda, and the “Dragon of Echigo” Kenshin Uesugi, and fight for control of the 50 fiefdoms of ancient Japan, from Ezo in the north to Kyushu in the south.

Game Features
1. A return to the roots of the “Nobunaga’s Ambition” series.
The “Nobunaga’s Ambition” series has continued to evolve over the many years of its existence, but this title is its foundation, with its simple yet addictive game play and stylish presentation. The beautifully appropriate musical score is back, and the touch controls on the iPhone / iPod touch version make it easier to play than ever before.
   

2. A cast of unique characters.
This title features over 50 unique daimyo, each striving to control his own fief, and eventually to unify the land. Each player can find their favorite, and lead them to glory. Use the GPS feature within Japan to strengthen the Daimyo who controlled the fief youre currently in.    


3. The twin pillars of domestic government and war.
To hire and train troops and prepare for war, you must procure funds through the development of commerce and agriculture in your fief. Timing is crucial when it comes to the right moment to launch a strike against another fief―achieving the perfect balance between development and militarism is the only way to unite the land. Learn the basics of strategy and warfare with the easy and intuitive tutorial.
   

4. New original features.
The iPhone / iPod touch version of the game contains new original features such as the ability to create your own daimyo, a game mode that allows you to extend your life infinitely, and the ability to play your own music playlists as background music in the game. Now you can create your very own vision of the Warring States-era that suits the way you want to play.

Pros and cons of 信長の野望・全国版 app for iPhone and iPad

信長の野望・全国版 app good for

I dont understand all the hate for this game, YES it is overprced, and would be a great value at 1.99 or even a fair price at 4.99. However, just for the nostalgia of the game for those who remember playing this on the SNES and loving it, this game is a nice update and with the larger maps then the original series it makes for a good bit of fun. If you found it too easy the first time and considered quiting after one play through, jack up the difficulty rating and try again... thiese new difficulty lvls make for a much more challenging game. Happy assassinating!
Its one of the classic history simulation series from KOEI back in 80s which pretty much allowed KOEI to exist what it is now. I remember KOEIs golden age when it was pretty much ruling the market with the genre until mid 90s. Its a good reminiscence for those who enjoyed KOEIs simulation series as young kids. Its also meaningful title for me since Im a big fan of Yoko Kanno who participated in many of KOEIs early games. I agree KOEIs price policy has been notorious. but its still worth their efforts to bring classic title back to new devices. So, I support them, and I hope they continue on releasing more of those classic series. Uncharted water would be awesome.
I love this game. Spent countless hours back in the 80s playing the original version on my Nintendo system. It has a great balance of strategy and randomness that makes it fun to play over and over again. I wish it was available to play on my MacBook Pro too. All in all Im very happy I can play this game once again. Please make more games like this. Thank you!

Some bad moments

I strongly advise against purchasing this game. Koei has made no attempt to make an IPad version that would match the flexibility and versatility of the old PC game. The player is unable to carry out more than one command in each province before the game switches to the next province. The battle map is no better - I would say far worse - than the original PC version. The ONLY advantage to the new version is not having to use a keyboard. I am a fan of the old game but feel cheated by Koei, something other fans have also expressed on the Web. This now boring game is very expensive and basically a rip-off. It doesnt even rate one star.
Should be 1.99 Hard to figure out, and monotonous once learned. Has 0 replay value once winning strat is achieved and lacks any customizable features or options to campaigns. Save your money, only worth maybe 3 hrs of gameplay with no replay value....for now
Im a fan of nobunaga series But $9.99 is way too expensive for this game And this game is totally lack of features
Mindless game play. I actually spent alot of hours to complete the game. Challenging at first to build your state and army. However, once you start conquering other states you start to notice every state has maxes out their production. Boring game. And no updates since the download. Very disappointing game from Koei!!
I love the turn based statecrafting games, but there is no way for this game to be fun, even on a nostalgic level. Dont waste your money or time on this piece of junk.
This game is an offense to human intelligence. Of all the possible Koei game ports... This?!? This isnt a Nobunagas Ambition game. This is barely Highschool-project level of quality. The most simplistic Koei games from the 8-bit era had a million times more depth than this.
