Taikou Risshiden V

The game’s title translates roughly as “The Talk’s success story.” The characters are from Japan’s Momoyama period. In the previous Taik Risshiden IV, a character was chosen from among samurai, ninja, and merchant options. New roles in Taik Risshiden V include a blademaster, a pirate, a doctor, a tea master, and a blacksmith, for a total of eight. In the game, the player meets a variety of historical figures from the period. The game uses the same card system as Taik Risshiden IV but with new professions added. For each version, the number of playable warlords is increased to 800 for Windows and 860 for the PlayStation 2. Foreign missionaries, monks, and wives of military lords are among the non-combat characters. Pirates and merchants can travel to four overseas bases: Naha (Ryukyu, now part of Japan), Busan (Korea), Ningbo (Ming China), and Luzon (in the Philippines). The military commander graphics were changed from the manga style of versions III and IV to a graphic novel, or gekiga style, inspired by a title called Nobunaga’s Ambition. While internal affairs and training sessions were settled in mini-games in Taik Risshiden IV, unless you changed the option in the PlayStation 2 edition or later, it is possible to opt out and skip those mini-games in this version. However, if the player misses those mini-games, no technical points are gained on the ability score, and there are times when the player is challenged with the mini-games even if they have chosen to skip them. Players on Windows will gain new modes based on the number of cards obtained during gameplay, similar to the previous PlayStation 2 version. When all docks are collected, the function to edit warlord data replaces the Power Up Kit used in other Koei titles. When creating a special commander or warrior, the player designs the appearance, such as choosing and arranging face features, props, and clothing, rather than selecting from preset formations. This version allows the player to choose a female warlord for the first time and register and control up to 40 characters besides the leading warlord.
