Nobnaga's Ambition: Souten Roku (信長之野望:蒼天錄)
The setting of the game is the tumultuous period of Japan in the late 15th century to 17th century. It offers more than 1,500 characters for role-playing. The player first needs to acquire cities, train his or her armies and military commanders and then strategize to conquer other cities or territories (the total is around 150) and ultimately unify a divided Japan.
Compared with the real-time strategy games of AOE, the war games of Nobnaga's Ambition instead focus on interior administration and the training of military commanders.
"It is not like the War Craft series or AOE series. The game player need to manage a number of statistic graphics, such as the evaluation of generals' capability, the military and political information of enemies as well as the progress of interior construction. The player is required to distribute resources and manpower," said Sammy Liu (
Zanzarah: The Hidden Portal (精靈夜想曲)
Zanzarah is actually the European edition of "Pokemon." The game is about an 18-year-old girl's adventure in a fantasy world called Zanzarah. On her birthday, she breaks in to Zanzarah and the only way for her to return to the real world is to help the fairies fight against vicious powers. The girl explores the realm of the fairies and learns to use powers she never knew she had to find fairies and conquer them.
"At the start of the game, the player has only one fairy. She needs to fight with all kinds of animals in the wild and tame them so as to make them fight for her later," said Interwise Vice President Dell Yu (
"Although Zanzarah is an adventure game, something that makes it unique is that once the team of fighters is composed, the game becomes a first-person shooting game," said Antonio Lu (
"The greatest satisfaction comes from collecting pictures of all kinds of fairies and from creating the best team for fighting," Lu said. -- Lin Chieh-yu
