    In Kou Shibusawa’s historical simulation, NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition, players must learn the finer points of both military might and political cunning.
    A culmination of the series' 40-year history, players attempt to accomplish Nobunaga Oda's unachieved ambition to unify Japan through a series of escalating war strategies and diplomacy. Optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2 system, including Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, the game not only features DLC from the original title, but also includes six new scenarios along with climactic Decisive Battles.
    Launch joint offenses with allies, break through the frontlines enroute to enemy castles, and appoint officers to influence both political and economic strategies as players experience the life of a daimyo -- a powerful Japanese leader -- in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, 16th century Japan.

    Despite the rather steep learning curve, Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition is a good title for strategy game fans and brings good content additions even for those who have already devoured the original game.

    There’s a satisfying strategy sim here, running behind design choices that try to streamline the experience, but don't necessarily make it more accessible. Awakening feels like a reshuffling of ideas without necessarily evolving the Nobunaga’s Ambition formula or pushing it forward. We’re hoping the next instalment is a little braver, or at least cherrypicks the best elements from past games, refining them into the ultimate Sengoku strategy game.
