Gameplay
Gameplay is divided into two segments: a narrative phase and a battle phase. The narrative phase tells the story with fully voiced animated cutscenes.
The battle phase takes place on a grid-based environment. Victory conditions must be met in order to advance through the plot; they may entail from defeating all enemies to reaching a specified escape route. The player loses if Nobunaga is defeated or the turn limit is exceeded. Units consist of spearmen, cavalry, archers, muskets, warships, and pages. If a unit's troop count is low, its manpower will suffer as a result. Officers change units as the story progresses while some can perform certain tactics to hinder opponents.
A script-reading option and a database are also available. Completing the game unlocks the table of contents function, enabling viewers to replay any of the chapters they've seen.
