Rise of the Samurai offers players an entirely new campaign to experience, complete with its own unique units, all new skill trees, and a touched up map of Japan to better suit the time period.Ĭhoosing a Daimyo from one of three clans, the Taira, the Minamoto, and the Fujiwara, players not only need to fight for military control over land, but they need to win over the hearts and minds of the people as well. Rise of the Samurai takes place roughly 400 years beforehand, and players take control of a clan during the Genpei War, and fight to become the first Shogun of Japan. Shogun 2 is set in Feudal Japan, during the Sengoku Jidai. But many people are curious what exactly Rise of the Samurai does for Shogun 2. Recently, Shogun 2 has seen a permanent price drop which makes Rise of the Samurai’s affordable price tag of $10 all the more appealing. They'll kill you twice before you hit the ground.
