Lords of the Rising Sun

Developer: MicroProse

Lords of the Rising Sun is a deliberate, turn-based strategy experience on the TurboGrafx-CD that drops you into feudal Japan’s territorial struggles. Players plan maneuvers, manage units and supply lines, and tackle scenario-driven campaigns that reward patience and forethought. The CD format brings atmospheric music and narration that enhance the slow-burn tactical tension. Expect steep learning curves, careful decision-making, and satisfying high-stakes encounters against AI opponents — a title that appeals to retro strategy fans who enjoy methodical pacing, memorable presentation, and classic difficulty rather than arcade action.
