That said, this new release offers us about her return to the Japanese archipelago in 1545, right in the Sengoku-jidai, which scholars translate as "the age of warring provinces. In Japanese history, it is indeed a time of intense social turmoil, political intrigue and convoluted quasi-permanent military conflicts, all consistent with the introduction of the first firearms and Christianity ... Once again, The Creative Assembly is her baby rest on historical grounds extremely solid and does not hesitate to spice up the blows of dilemmas and decisions to be perfectly credible.
