Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence Critic Reviews

There have been only a few strategy games on consoles in recent years, and none have had the depth conveyed by Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence. The unique historical setting only further cements this title as one of my favourites on the PlayStation 4 to date.

Nobunaga’s Ambition Sphere of Influence is a PC-like strategy experience on the PlayStation 4 that succeeds on all levels.

A few drawbacks in the game won’t stop you from enjoying this in-depth strategy game and pouring an exorbitant amount of time into propelling your Lord to the top of the Feudal food chain.

This strategy title from Koei Tecmo brings us in the Sengoku era, and offers endless gameplay possibilities. It's a fact, anyway, that such a game is most likely to be appreciated by people who love Japan and that particular era.

The presentation leaves something to be desired here and there but in terms of content you’ll get a decent mixture of diplomacy and warfare in a 16th century setting.

While it certainly doesn't do anything new to win over those who aren't fans of the genre, it does more than enough to sap away the hours of anyone who's willing to wrap their head around its complex workings.

The game will please fans of the genre who have been waiting for a game like this to come to PS4, but I honestly can’t see it winning over many new fans to the genre due to how overwhelming its initial few hours can be.

If you have the time, Nobunaga’s Ambition is a rewarding and immersive experience; you’ll be bathing in its wealth of options and historical depth for months.

It shines because the balance of all it's playable elements. It's not common to see an strategy game on consoles, especially a good one.

A very deep and well done strategy sim based upon the Japanese Sengoku era. Tons of content and a mixed of realistic and fictional characters and missions await.

Despite the slightly underwhelming visuals and the rather brutal initial learning curve, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence is an otherwise unmitigated success and fine example of how the strategy genre has the potential to strive on home consoles.

A fully customizable and rewarding strategy experience with tons of contents and deep gameplay options, both on PC and consoles. For many but not for everyone.

It’s not for everyone, but if you surrender yourself to its intricacies you may well find yourself crafting your own ornate strategies for victory long into the night.

Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence is complex for newcomers, making it difficult to understand and not at all at ease on a console. This is perhaps the only criticism due to Koei Tecmo, we are faced with a quality production and immense below the side of content, almost overwhelming, which will delight fans with a truly fascinating setting.

It has some flaws, including a rather lackluster interface and average visuals, but it makes up for that with plenty of in-game depth.

If you're looking for a grand strategy game that has an incredible amount of depth and breadth for your PS4, this is it.

An interesting alternative to western strategic games, but too hard for players new to the genre.

When the cogs start turning, Nobunaga’s Ambition becomes this intriguing spectacle as clans employ a variety of strategies in order to adapt, survive, and expand. Although far from perfect, this is likely the best grand strategy title you’ll find on a home console.

Strategy gamers rejoice! There is finally a game worthy of your time on the PlayStation 4.

A long-awaited localization of a famed franchise that fails to make an impact. With little depth or strategy, this is a game designed for those who love Japanese history or are franchise diehards. Only that love will keep you wanting to play through the game more than once.
