Cherry blossoms fall Strength and honor shape the land The sun is rising
Set in legendary feudal Japan, Rising Sun places players in control of the great clans, gathering by the mighty Kami to reshape the lands and return them to their honorable, spiritual traditions.
Each clan will use their unique abilities to spread their forces across the provinces, build their strongholds, harvest the land to reap its rewards, and wage war against each other. As the seasons change from spring, to summer, and to autumn, players may upgrade their clans with strategic enhancements, bountiful virtues, and even powerful monsters out of legend to aid their cause. The clans would also be wise to give worship to the gods, as each Kami may grant them powerful abilities. However, diplomacy can be an even more powerful tool, as the clans forge alliances for mutual benefit, and negotiate their way towards victory. In this political arena, honor is more valuable than gold, although betrayal can turn the tides of war. Battles are won, not just by sheer force, but by strategy and cunning.
Choose your path wisely, and your allies carefully. When the winter snow covers the land, will you be the one chosen to rule the land of the Rising Sun?
