Overall the game is polished, the map is gorgeous, and the emphasis on goals other than war is a refreshing change from the vast majority of strategy titles out there.

Sengoku is not for everyone. Paradox has made another great hardcore strategy game, with a great scenario.

A must for fans of pure RTS. Sengoku does not allow compromise, no chance for error, only patience, strategy and application.

Sengoku is a good, complex and extreme strategy game. True strategists will appreciate its good AI and wide variety of choices. Less hardcore players should just stay away from it.

This is not for everyone, but if you want a feudal Japan political simulator, it provides hours of entertainment.

Sengoku offers only political intrigue. You set up a trap, fast-forward time until it springs, reap the fruits of our trickery, then rinse and repeat until you win. And if you're not well-versed in the history of Medieval Japan… well, good luck.

The simple building system is very slow and expensive, often taking years, and enemy ninjas can destroy guilds or religious locations with ease. [Holiday 2011, p.77]

Sengoku is a unique strategy game that focuses more on family trees and on politics than on actual warfare. As for most strategy games published by Paradox Interactive, Sengoku is meant for the hardcore strategist and isn't very accessible for mainstream gamers.

Paradox Interactive remains true to its roots: Sengoku also provides sophisticated strategy for experts who do not shy away from tedious, lengthy training time.
