Comprar Pike and Shot: Campaigns

New game from the creator of Pike and Shot

Sengoku Jidai: Shadow of the Shogun is developed in collaboration between Richard Bodley Scott, the mastermind behind Field of Glory and Pike & Shot, and Jayson Ng an active member of the community. The game expands P&S’s epic turn-based battles with some tactical enhancements and a new and colourful unit mix, embellished with a perfectly chosen art style.

Battlefield generals are a major game changer and serve a hero role which players have to learn how to master. Units under the influence of their leaders will receive benefits, being less likely to break, and likely to inflict higher damage. The loss of an inspirational general can cause an entire frontline to crumble.

The game is available now :)

Acerca deste jogo

In Pike and Shot you can march in the footsteps of the great leaders of one of the most amazing periods in European History as you take command in the mighty struggles of the Great Turkish War, the Thirty Years War and the English Civil War.

History can be rewritten as you use your genius to lead your armies from victory to victory in Pike and Shot’s uniquely realized tactical battles. Previous victories and defeats determine the state of readiness of your forces, and every single unit will count to win the final battle. As you progress through the campaign, you will make hard decisions on a brand new strategic map, where terrain, manpower, supply, attrition, sieges and economic damage will all be defining your choices and making the difference between glory and defeat.

Hundreds of hours of gameplay await you in the four campaigns, all with their own armies and tactics:

• Gustavus Adolphus campaign, set in the “Swedish phase” of the Thirty Years War, allows you to play as Swedes or Imperialists.
  
• English Civil War campaign allows you to play as Royalists or Parliamentarians.
  
• Great Turkish War campaign, set in the period of the famous Siege and Battle of Vienna of 1683, allows you to play as Austria and Poland or as the Ottoman Empire.
  
• Pike and Shot skirmish campaign allows you to match any two armies from 1494 to 1698 in a struggle for dominance.
