    The gameplay has been criticized for its confusing and minimal interface, leading to a lack of clarity about game mechanics. Players have found the gameplay to be overly simplistic and easily exploitable, allowing for rapid progression without significant challenge. However, there is optimism for future improvements that could enhance the game's depth and challenge.

    • “Understand I am recommending this game purely on the basis that it has a very strong future ahead of it after some controls ironing out, a purpose to the game, and making it an actual challenge. The gameplay is very simplistic and easily cheesable. In the time I played while making this review (1.3 hours of gameplay), I easily went from a single castle to being the strongest daimyo on the face of Japan. My conquest wasn't done; I had taken Kyoto, and after that, many clans just fell to me or swore fealty. I was unchallengeable except for one or two factions that never had enough armies around to stop me from taking every castle.”
    • “Now, I want to say that despite this game's current playability, I never experienced a single crash. There are plenty of issues with this game's gameplay, though, from the confusing interface to somewhat of a lack of an interface. There is little to know what is going on in this game.”
    • “I thought it looked interesting, but it just has no decent gameplay.”

    The game lacks any meaningful story elements or narrative buildup, resulting in a simplistic and repetitive experience. Players find the battles to be overly easy and fast-paced, contributing to a sense of boredom, while the absence of tutorials or goals further diminishes engagement. Overall, the sandbox nature of the game leaves little incentive to continue playing beyond initial army-building.

    • “There are no story elements, there is no buildup, the battles are deathly simple and hard to really enjoy with how fast they go by, let alone the controls.”
    • “The AI is very poor and needs serious tweaking beyond their simplistic forms. The animations are awful, the models aren't half bad, but battles go by super fast, making it easy to get bored with how easy the game is. Being a sandbox, there's almost no story or reason to continue playing after you have 6+ armies.”
    • “The battles are too simplistic, and there is no tutorial or anything to suggest any story, point, or goal.”
