Gameplay
The game has players taking up the role of feudal lords during the Warring States period of Japan. Each player starts by setting camp in one of the 47 prefectures of Japan, with one starting warlord being available as an ally on each region. From here, player will use their powers to achieve the growth of their respective states by building new facilities to form a town, managing and training their warlords to improve the armies, and fighting against other players. Players are divided into three factions: Oni (鬼), Genma (幻魔), and Human (人, Hito).
Battles are similar to a card game, with each warlord being a card with their own army. More warlords are recruited by progressing in the game's story, in events, in the gacha, and in the shop.
Warlords
Warlords (武将) are cards representing the generals from the player's army. Like the players, they are divided into three factions.
