For over 20 years, I dreamed about an alternate universe I called the Higher World. For three of those years, I poured almost all of my creative energy into a novel-length story set in that universe. Worlds Apart is the result. But it is not a novel in the traditional sense of the word. It is an interactive tale in which you play the leading part, solving problems and learning about yourself along the way.
"NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Reppuden with Power Up Kit" is an expanded version of "NOBUNAGA'S AMBITION: Reppuden," which was released in 1999 as the 8th game in the series.
Reppuden is a strategy based simulation game in which players delve into the lives of the heroes who roamed the chaotic Warring States period. It features a compact style of domestic affairs where players develop numerous facilities in the various castle towns under their control. The scale of battle changes with the number of units in the fight. The power and influence of each Daimyou is measured by his prestige. Players play as one of the Daimyo and fight to gain control of all the 40 castles scattered across Japan.
In this sci-fi action game, reflex shooting dominates over planning or tactical play. Expect non-stop action from fighting and relentlessly killing off tons of bad guys across more than 20 levels of 3rd person 3D action, taking place inside and outside. Powering up your weaponry is crucial - there are 18 different ones to collect, from pulse cannons to particle accelerators and rockets to missiles. Two player cooperative and deathmatch modes are provided.
Control an elite force of soldiers from any of eight different sides. Fight on over 40 maps with more than 100 weapons and pieces of equipment. When you've had enough of the advanced computer intelligence, beat your friends in an up to eight player hot-seat multi-player mode! Use the most advanced turn based system on Earth: Run, walk, duck, heal, conceal and rest your troops. Listen for the enemy and guard along the line of sight. Light the surrounding terrain or hunt in darkness.
