A historical strategy game centered on China's unification by Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor, blending military conquest and the management of a nascent state. Its interest lies in this historical subject rarely treated in games and its distribution limited to Asia rather than broad demand. A niche piece for fans of ancient strategy and uncommon Chinese themes on the console.
