About the Game

To commemorate Kou Shibusawa's 35th anniversary, the "Kou Shibusawa Archives" will be opened in the Steam Store. Here we will revive popular previously released titles.

In this tenth round of releases, we offer the first game developed and sold (10/26/1981) by Kou Shibusawa, "Kanakawajima no Kassen."
It is a Strategy simulation game. Players become Shingen Takeda and clash with Kenshin Uesugi at Kawanakajima in an attempt to wipe out his rival.
Players can try two different game modes. The "Original mode" has remained faithful to the original release as much as possible, while the "Remake mode" has redone graphics and controls to allow for easier play.
