Overview:

Back of Box

In April 1660, Englishman John Blackthorne was shipwrecked off the coast of Japan by a violent storm. He found himself in the center of a political conflict of equal violence.

For six centuries, Japan had been torn by civil strife. The mighty warlords (daimyo) administered the feudal system and guarded against bandits and insurrection. This icon-driven, interactive novel puts you in there with them. Take the part of any of the 40 characters as they vie for supreme power in the land, to become the military ruler of all of Japan, to become Shogun.

Test out your powers of intelligence, cunning, politics, and combat against some of the most powerful figures in history. Choose the part of Blackthorne, Ishido, Zen Master, Ikematu, or become the Samurai Warrior- or even a Peasant.

Any way you want to play it, the road to becoming Shogun will test you to the limit!
