Nobunaga's Ambition:Awakening Battle of Okehazama

Yoshimoto Imagawa sets his sights on the capital of Kyoto, gathering a large army he marched, in order to reach the capital however he would have to go through the small Oda clan,which won't be an issue...........right?

Just think about how important was this battle: - Oda’s escaped anihilation and dominated the conclusion of the Sengoku Jidai. - without this win Toyotomi would also not be able to dominate Japan. - no guess what would’ve happened in Kyushu - most likely a very powerful Shimazu - most likely Matsudaira would remain subordinate. Which means no Tokugawa Shogunate. Although Sekigahara may be the most important battle in the period, if Okehazama had a different outcome we could have a entirely different Japan...

[@kamdenmadan3289]

My guess is that if Oda lost, it would have led to Central Japan not solidifying as early as it did in our time, which would have allowed the outlying powers of Shimazu, Chosokabe, and Date to not be immediatly subsumed into a Central Japan authority like the Toyotomi just as they start rising.

The beginning of a legend. The Great Fool of Owari.

There is a cutscene latter where he tells his mentor " I am no longer the fool of owari!" Not sure what he what the context was but still pretty funny 😁

This triggered for me playing as a non oda player when nobunaga and yoshimoto clashed, and it was just as devastating for imagawa they lost all their standing armies!

[@RangerRyu]

Yeah,the battle essentially sent the Imagawa from being one of the strongest clans to weak especially since his son Ujizane was not that good at being a Daimyo! Quite impressive how one raid can change the course of history. I mean Yoshimoto would not have given Hideyoshi the chance that Nobunaga did.

[@archivegaming3014]

@RangerRyu Yeah he had a very a "old world" view of things hideyoshi would have been just another soldier, the battle reminds me a bit of Guan Du Yuan Shao vs Cao Cao the Raid of wu Chao. I've tried Ujizane time and again since the ps2 days never succeed feels impossible!

The Battle of Okehazama elevated Oda Nobunaga from a nobody to a big time player in the chaotic era in Japanese history called Sengoku Jidai.

Underrated

[@Elmondo1994]

between the butchered recent games of KOEI this game really looks to be a gem in the mud Downloading it now I thought it was just an expansion of sphere of influence

[@RangerRyu]

From what I read the original version of this game was rough so I'm glad Koei Tecmo waited until the expansion pack was done

[@kevinsmoon3257]

I like the gameplay and im a huge fan of the nobunagas ambition series since ps2 but i feel like the combat regresses every release

[@RangerRyu]

Sorry for the late reply,overlooked the notification I feel that this combat system is better than Taishi one,though can’t comment on the changes the PUK made to it since it never came out in the west.

[@kevinsmoon3257]

@@RangerRyu no worries haha i appreciate your reply my friend! And i just wish combat was more total war like haha but we’ll never get that in console

[@blazedark3569]

Interesting game but gameplay looks boring. I remember playing a strategy game on ps2 or ps3 with nobunaga that had good animationns and even duels during battle. But I can't remember the name

[@RangerRyu]

@@blazedark3569 could that have been Kessen 3?
