About this gameFull description from Steam
Command vast armies of samurai in large-scale tactical battles. Every soldier is individually simulated — watch as thousands of warriors clash, react, and fight with a life of their own. Outsmart your opponent with superior tactics, or overwhelm them with sheer force. Deep Simulation Battle Match models every aspect of the battlefield: Physics: Ballistics, armor penetration, terrain elevation, vegetation cover, and line-of-sight Psychology: Morale, fatigue, experience, and leadership influence how soldiers fight — and when they break Scale: Every soldier is individually modeled, but you command them in units of tens or hundreds for seamless control Free to Play Battle Match is free to download and play. Samurai Wars The first Battle Match module is set in Japan's Sengoku Jidai, the age of the samurai — a modern remake of the original Samurai Wars mobile game. Take on the role of a feudal warlord commanding ashigaru, samurai, and cavalry across the battlefields of warring Japan.
