Graphics: 6
It's pretty nice looking, but some of the battle scenes could use some work. The daiyamo's faces look good, and so do the other faces you see in the game.

Sound: 9
Every time I play this game, the music has me tapping on the keyboard or controller. It's uptempo during the battle scenes, yet mild and very fitting for the game during ""management"" screens.

Gameplay: 10
One of the single most enjoyable games I have ever played. It is different from many other S&T games out there, and the difficulty level ramps steeply from the very beginning.

Overall: 7
Overall, this was a very good game. The controls were simple, the management was straitforward. The battles were simple enough that a complete beginner could do it, but still leave room for a lot of strategy.

This game is one of many shining examples of the fact that even after the years go by, the games are still fun, new, and fresh. Combining many elements of modern strategy games with a new perspective, this game is worth the long time to beat it!
