Battles are often won and lost by the time troops first come into contact with each other, and while that’s not inaccurate to actual warfare, it means that over half of each battle is a dull slog towards an already known resolution, and the game’s various modes don’t add much depth or replayability. Hardcore Japanese history buffs will certainly find some enjoyment here, but it’s tough to recommend to strategy fans in general.

Una meccanica fastidiosa, che limita di molto la varietà delle situazioni: se aggiungiamo una generale mancanza di opzioni (niente edifici o fortificazioni da costruire, ad esempio), ne risulta una modalità tranquillamente evitabile. Per fortuna il titolo non difetta di scenari storici, e altri se ne possono aggiungere grazie al lavoro della community: giocato così, come un simulatore di battaglie, Sengoku Jidai è davvero un'esperienza da consigliare.
