Game description: Embrace technology, govern wisely, and build an invincible military force for war on land and at sea. Only then will Nobunaga's Ambition be realized and a nation united under one sword. Three game modes: "Unification", "Local", and "Challenge". Experience four historical scenarios and one fictional, then unlock more scenarios as you progress- nine in all. Scenarios in "Unification" mode may take up to 60 hours to complete!
Nobunaga's Ambition takes place during the Sengoku period of feudal Japan. As the title suggests, the player is tasked with achieving the ultimate goal of warlord Oda Nobunaga: the conquest and unification of Japan. Selecting Oda Nobunaga is optional, however, as the player is also able to choose from a variety of other regional daimyos of the time.
