Eiyu*Senki Gold – A New Conquest (v2021.08.02)

Zipang’s fragile peace becomes the opening move in a colorful, character-driven strategy RPG built around conquest, alliances, and a thoroughly anime-styled alternate history. Masamune Date’s ambition collides with the legacy of Yamato Takeru after she finds an amnesiac young man washed ashore, setting a campaign in motion that reaches far beyond the island nation’s closed borders. The tone balances light comedy, political maneuvering, and romantic character scenes with a steadily escalating war for territory. Rather than aiming for grim historical realism, it recasts famous figures and legends as a large, lively cast of heroines with distinct personalities.

Campaign progression centers on moving across a world map, claiming regions, advancing the story, and assembling an army from more than 70 potential allies. Battles use turn-based, gridless tactical encounters where unit placement, attack ranges, elemental or weapon matchups, and party composition matter more than simply overpowering enemies. Every recruit brings a particular combat role and personal storyline, so side quests are useful both for seeing more of the cast and unlocking stronger skills, loyalty events, and romance routes. Crafting adds another layer of preparation, with a fusion blacksmith able to create a large selection of equipment and helpful items, while later fights demand more careful responses to enemy formations and tactics.

Ashito Oyari’s bright 2D character art gives the adventure a polished visual-novel flavor, while the enormous roster keeps the strategic side from becoming repetitive. New Game Plus makes repeat runs worthwhile by carrying forward special benefits, encouraging players to experiment with different recruits, relationship events, and army setups. Fans of titles such as Rance, Agarest, or lighter tactical RPGs will recognize the blend of map conquest, party management, and lengthy dialogue scenes, though its systems remain approachable for genre newcomers. Eiyu*Senki Gold – A New Conquest suits players who want a cheerful, story-heavy anime RPG with enough tactical depth to reward a thoughtfully built team.
