Taiheiki is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Tose Co., Ltd. and published by SEGA Enterprises Ltd. originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on Genesis.
Taiheiki is a turn-based strategy game based on the television drama of the same name, which in turn is based on a famous 14th century historical epic chronicling the fall of the Hōjō clan during the Kamakura period of Japanese history.
The game is a grid-based strategy game, in the tradition of Fire Emblem or Langrisser. Each side has multiple units, which can move depending on the terrain. Conflicts between units are shown as animated sequences, and the player can determine formations, as well as issue and change orders to different troops at any time. Battles between enemy commanders take the form of a side-scrolling 1-on-1 action sword battle.
Two scenarios are available. The first puts the player in the shoes of Takauji Ashikaga, who attempts to overthrow Godaigo and establish a new government, while the second follows Masashige Kusunoki and Yoshisada Nitta, who must try to protect Emperor Godaigo and his imperial government. The two scenarios intertwine at various points, and graphic story sequences between each battle propel the story forward.
