Loyal retainers plotting revenge and usurpation.
About
In this land, there once existed five powerful daimyo families known as the "Five Great Daimyo." Guest was the head of one of these, the Akizuki clan. Guest aimed for national unification to end the Sengoku period and build a peaceful world.
Finally, Guest defeated the last of the Five Great Daimyo and achieved unification.
