James Clavell's Shōgun

About this title

The player assumes the role of John Blackthorne, Pilot-Major of the Dutch trading ship Erasmus. During a voyage in the Pacific Ocean in the year 1600, the Erasmus is shipwrecked in Japan. Blackthorne must survive in a land where every custom is as unfamiliar to him as the language. After learning some of the society's ways, he is drawn into a political struggle between warlords and falls in love with a Japanese woman. As the title indicates, the game is based on the book Shōgun by James Clavell. [from [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clavell%27s_Sh%C5%8Dgun]Wikipedia[/url]]
