Video Game Reviews of Genghis Khan
Customer Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
This game was so ahead of it's time for NES. By today's standards, this game is a bit primitive, but don't let that detract you from jumping in. This was the first game I recall for NES where you could save your progress, as KOEI installed a memory chip INSIDE the game cartridge itself. This, of course, is a necessity in strategy games, where it may take days to complete the task at hand.
The game itself is outstanding and even 17 years after I first enjoyed it, I find myself craving it. I can't say that about many games from the late 80's, but this one is worthy of replay. I recently purchased a copy of it on here and can't wait for it to arrive.
Immerse yourself in the legend of Genghis Khan and his remarkable ride through the steppes of Asia and, in this game, Europe. Live out a life, pass on and leave the empire in the hands of a son (and continue playing). See different landscapes of differing nations, different peoples. Marry off your daughters to commanders who will swear loyalty. Keep an eye on your people's morale, as they may rise up in rebellion if you fail to feed them, or tax them too heavily. Trade for goods, food, weapons, and best of all, lead your armies into battle using cavalry, infantry, and archers skillfully. Defend your conquests from marauding raiders, disloyal governors, and civil uprisings. Move armies to conquered nations to defend your frontiers and launch attacks. Ride from the steppes of central Asia, to the deep jungles of Dai Viet, to the mountains of Europe, to the deserts of Asia Minor and North Africa. Play in two different modes: one where you, as a young Temujin (The future Genghis Khan), must first unite the tribes of the Mongolian steppe under your flag, then take your new nation into world conquest mode, where the entire known world lays out before you. Unite the world under your humble flag.
You'll play it again and again...guaranteed. An epic, classic game you'll never forget.
