Rising Sun is set in legendary feudal Japan, where players lead large clans gathered by the mighty Kami to reshape the country and return it to its venerable spiritual traditions.

Each clan uses its unique abilities to spread its forces across the provinces. Build forts, harvest crops - and fight against other clans. As spring gives way to summer and summer to autumn, players can develop their clan in both strategy and virtue, and even call upon the monsters of legend to aid their cause. Clans would be wise to pray to the gods as each kami can grant them very powerful abilities. However, diplomacy can be an even more powerful tool as clans can form mutually beneficial alliances and negotiate their way to victory. In this political arena, honor is more valuable than gold, although betrayal can turn the tide of war. Battles can be won not only by brute force, but also by strategy and cunning.

Choose your path wisely and your allies carefully. By the time the snow of winter covers the earth, it will be decided whether you will be the chosen one to rule the land of the Rising Sun...
