Too bad, really bad. How to slaughter such a great franchise.
Daisenryaku VII exceed on PS2 was a revelation to me. This one, a real disappointment.
Still no update since it was released. 82% negative evaluation... Nothing...
To believe that the dévs are satisfied with their app. I wonder if they really tested it.
Bugs have a problem, translation problems, a fancy UI and I go.
Not to mention the resolution... Making a game on huge maps quickly becomes a ordeal.
Damage... Really a pity.

Start immediately with the saying that even if I knew the series Daisenryaku, this is the first title I play, so my review is not affected by comparisons with prices and characteristics of previous titles.
Many of the negative reviews are basically for the price and for the few innovations compared to the previous version.
The Game is a strategic turn-based on hexagonal square maps, each box has features that go to impact on the unit according to the type of the unit itself.
The setting is modern, in fact in the database of units, you can find more than 1500 between means and units used by the armies of all world nations. Divided by categories according to the type of use, we have a cover of means ranging from strategic bombers to submarines, allowing players to play any type of scenario.
The units are well balanced and even if it is not a simulation title, the difference between units that are objectively stronger and perhaps more obsolete ones can be seen.
The game also has an internal editor, with which we will be able to create our maps, additional units that may be missing in the database, custom rules for battles and also custom production lists.
The customization of the rules then is something that I liked so much, widely customizable and spreadable on the needs of the scenario. If For example you want to stage a battle in which you fight only, you can also remove the part of production. Freedom is total.
The creation of the platforms and the weapons used by the latter, makes the game extremely long-lived and ample the possibilities in an incredible way, allowing those who want, also to enter other historical contexts.
With this editor in fact, no one prevents to create environments with means of the second World War for example.
The graphics are a little outdated and you can see the imprint "Consoleristica" of the title, which however at least did not bother me. Even the sound compartment is not the brightest, even dated that, but in a game like this, at least for me, has a marginal value.
The Multiplayer is only local, so you can play in two or more but only from the same PC.
In my opinion this Daisenryaku Perfect 4.0 is a fun game if you are a lover of Strategigi "old school" like me.
So I would definitely recommend it despite the price.
