Sengoku Dynasty | Ikigai Update Trailer | Combat and more 

Now arming your clan with spears and armor and making them march to war is the only thing that is missing.

If you allow me, I would like to make a suggestion now that combat is starting to become more beautiful and dynamic: Those of us who practice Iaijutsu really enjoy the process of noto (sheathing the sword). It occurred to me that perhaps it wouldn't be difficult to make the katana like the gourd; an object that is always on the obi (belt) if we equip it in a certain slot. That way you could add a real draw and sheath, or even a Shiburi (shake the sword) like in ghost of tsushima to clean the blood. By the way, I couldn't help but notice that when making several light attacks in a row, the character hits to the right with the right leg in front. This is very dangerous and no good samurai would do it unless he has lost concentration. Maybe you want to fix it later. Thanks for your incredible work, I really enjoy your game. Have a great week :D

Finally it looks like Sengoku Dynasty is getting somewhere! I finally decided to get it now that the updates seem to be flowing in. Please keep up the hard work! がんばって！(Ganbatte!)

A lot of updates on many fronts, really a big step in the right direction. Keep the updates coming!

Always love seeing the update videos! Thank you for making them 😃

Just bought the game last week and I have been very much enjoying playing it but was hoping for some improvements to be on their way. Then I saw this today! Thank you Toplitz for a substantial update, very happy with your work and your attention to detail and making the game more fun to play. Huge fan and excited for future features and to continue supporting your company.

As this game takes place in the Sengoku Period and we can basically forge samurai armor (I don't know if we can forge a Kabuto) the game could randomly generate Nobunaga's samurai or ashigarus trying to annex our fief and giving us reason to always improve our village.

See you in the game! 🙌

With new combat I might give it a try! Looks cool

PLEAAAASE, BRING TO CONSOLES.

I can believe this is a mod for mount and blade kudos good work

I picked this game up on it's release (early access) thinking combat was non-existent. Now I'm clearly seeing the devs vision. I'll pick it up again soon!

thanks to the devs :) I'm indeed very excited! \o/

Just bought the game this weekend and already loving it. Keep up the good work!

just came here from watching this game on nivaria's channel. don't know how i did not notice this game earlier, it's absolutely magnificent! but you might need more exposure. try Keralis, this game is right up his alley

Damn, game has come a long way since I checked in on it a while ago. With this combat update I' m about to purchase it right now and give it a run! Great work team

This is my favorite dynasty game. I would love to see similar combat dynamics in medieval too.

I'm very excited for every new update to the game! I've put all my hope in indie studios to make a believable game set in medieval Japan. Keep up the good work, this update convinced me to purchase the game!

I NEVER expected this game to have detailed combat (i honestly thought the combat would be terrible) but this looks AMAZING i love it! i bought the game to support the devs but i don't play it cause i never play early access so that i don't get bored before the full release but these new updates are EXTREMELY tempting

That's awesome improvement, especially the combat!!🤯

Now that the combat is getting a rework it would be really cool to see the armor customization get a huge update. Maybe get some dying stations to change the lace color and clothing volors and patterns, even the wrappings on the sword. Alongside that it would be cool to get a lacquer oriented workstation to change the look of the metal itself. That way you can make what is a storied set of armor and weapon for your storied leader and his warriors.

Update looks awesome. Can't wait to play later.

Seeing update videos like dis makes me promote the game to my friends

don't own the game yet but eagerly waiting for it to develop futher. it's honestly looking really fun!

Soulslite? I love it. I´ll test combat right now. It´s the first time I´m happy to see a change from the Mediaval dinasty formula (almost perfect to me)

Thank you for taking a great game and making it even better!

Very interesting! Aesthetic and movement reminds me of Outward, in a good way! Will definitely look out for this game.

Looks like your making the right kinds of changes. Keep it up.

Thank you for adding this souls style of combat..Certainly makes action lot more enjoyable..

Woow, it got a good combat system. Finally!

Some suggestions, chances are you’ve already gotten these, or are actively considering/working on them, but I just needed to say it. 1.) Since this is The Sengoku Jidai, “The Age of the Country at War”, later on I would love to see enemy clans try to annex or pillage your territory. If possible, they progressively get stronger. So the stronger you are, the stronger your enemies will be. For example, you could at first just face a few raids from unarmored bandits. Then it advances to bandits with armoured ronin amongst them (similar to the ones you see in Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai) Next level, cavalry raiders. Then it advances to a minor clan. Then there can just be a period where its just you and this one clan trading blows, until the next level where a Major clan plans to seize your territory. This clan could be fictional, or to make it more immersive and fun, it could be the forces of a famous warlord of the Sengoku Period. Such as Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, Hojo Ujiyasu, etc. Depending on which clan you are facing, you may have to change how you fight. For example, you could expect to face the Cavalry of the Takeda, and make preparations for that, training expensive, elite and time consuming, Samurai spearmen to face them. But instead, you face the guns of Oda Nobunaga, and your strategy now becomes pointless, as you are outmatched by their range, which causes all your hard-work to get annihilated by their gunners. Perhaps if you’re defeated, depending on who you face, the penalty may be different. For example, Uesugi Kenshin may spare your village and simply take some loot. Whilst the forces of Oda Nobunaga may devastate it. If you guys actually pulled off a system like this, that would definitely bring more people in, as that has been one of the main things missing that is keeping people from playing. 2.) Make Spears the go-to melee weapon by any means necessary. There are tons of games such as bannerlord that have a variety of weapons, but EVERY SINGLE TIME, spears are practically useless. This annoys me as spears, throughout human history, have often been the main melee weapon. The Sengoku Period is famous for the advancement in Pike and Shot warfare. The spear is known as the main melee weapon of the Samurai. So to have the spear be sidelined for the sword AGAIN, would be painful. So I personally, and im sure others would agree as well, would love to see spears buffed. Perhaps, a way to make it realistic is making it so that Trust attacks cannot be blocked, only dodged. This way, if you have a sword, you may be more cautious of the range of the spear (As it is in real life). The only way you can engage a spearman with a shorter weapon is by basically chipping away at them, running in when you see a mistake. This means, that only the most skilled swordsman can best a spearman. I feel that the AI should also have levels. For example, a peasant should be more hesitant, attack less, barely notice a gap or mistake. But a Samurai should be skilled, shouldn’t be as jumpy, wouldnt fall for feint attacks as much, does his own feint attacks, take full advantage of a mistake made by you. That makes Samurai a legitimate threat to you in a fight, but off course, they can just as easily be picked apart at range. So Gunners/Archers should be used to target elite troops before engaging them in melee. 3.) Variety in armour and weapons, this I believe you guys anyways have planned, but I just needed to add it. Cause otherwise the top two dont make any sense. My main complaint is the lack of helmets. 4.) I’m curious if you guys have a historical advisor, if so, who? Would love to know. I really hope you consider these suggestions. Because, these are the things I feel is missing from this game, and keeping a lot of Japanese History buffs from playing. Thanks.

Suggestion now that combat is getting updated, new weapons and stances would be nice but all in all good work on the update keep it up!!

Never heard of this game, looks incredibly good!!!

I would really like to see NPC raids and making use for defense buildings....

Thanks for the update! It looks great!

wow its better than medieval dynasty already!!!

Wishlisted this game. Will probably check it out once there's a sale. edit: Actually, just saw that this game doesn't currently support the Steam Deck. I'll get it once that's worked on.

WOW!

Hello @ToplitzProductions :-D What about a Nintendo Switch release for Medieval Dynasty and Sengoku Dynasty? I can't wait to see the next update for Medieval Dynasty... Please, stay healthy! :-D

I just want animals. If anime based in the feudal era can have cows and chickens on the streets, why can't a game based on the same?

some players focus in economy than combat, if we leaders can arm our people and command them to clear bandit camps or hire some mercenaries, can be very good for the game

amazing added content!

Great update as always. Might be going into Medieval Dynasty territory... :)

absolutely kino, good stuff.

dang!! awesome

This is good. Are there Japanese maples and persimmon trees in the vegetation? In autumn, the mountains are dyed with the yellow of ginkgo trees and the red of Japanese maples, creating a beautiful scenery that could be the subject of a haiku poem. When the persimmon trees bear fruit, you can feel the fruiting season with your eyes. If there is an Inari Shrine, does that mean there are also foxes? . In Japan, there is an animal that is as beloved as the fox. It's a raccoon dog. If you haven't implemented it yet, please consider Tanuki.

Need to put it on the xbox!!!!!

You guys need to bring this over to PS5! More sales for ya!

A question: there's reference in the game to a burnt-down manor of the Shogudai, but I haven't yet found it. Has it been implemented?

Wow, I'm impressed by the amount of new additions and improvements that this update brings! Very excited to test these out 🤩 Thank you dev team for this great overview, and all the hard work

Niiiceeeeeee

May I suggest having two sliders that adjusts Damage Given and Damage Receive. In Ghost of Tsushima, I really enjoy playing it on Lethal Mode. Oh, and I guess a Ranged Attack indicator (either via visual que or audible like in GoT) since I dont wanna get kill silently by Archers that I cant see 😂

Please add parkour elements later or at least one day.

IN LATE 2024 WE CAN CLOSE THE DOOR ! GOOD BYE MOSQUETO !

Uuuuuh looks really good , is enemies attacks your village to steal your food and kill your people ? So maybe in future we need to build walls around to protect them oh my if you manage to make that I think a lot people like Reid mechanic in games it’s give bigger porpoise to be a great leader

super Mise a jour merci l'equipe qui boss fort !

Can u make the new combat system to be also applied on Medieval Dynasty? that would be great

Thank you for not including the Italian language this time too. You are unique!

NGL The improved production system hyped me more new combat system. Not saying that new combat system is bad or anything, im hyped for it it too but old production system was clunky as hell 😅

When will you guys optimise the game? I get low frames when there are a lot of buildings in my settlement

How do you get the pauldrons for the armor ?

i need to drink a water in game

is this online/have pvp? could be the new conan exiles all of us vets are wanting/ let me know if there is or if there is plans to do so. coop or pvp etc. I used to do videos on that game and had quite the audience of it. If you have a demo or key for me to try and review i would love to do it!

Guys when these updates drop do i have to start the game from beginning or are my saves preserved and I can start using the new features?

Nice Update, just replay it but can't still make to produce ICE on the mining building, it says I need the ICE SOURCE so far there is only ice in the lake that I have been able to find but I can't find the way to produce it in the mining building. And now Sake needs ICE? Now the most productive way of get sake is to buy it or buy the fermented mix just to distill it. And can you do something with the AutoSave, it keep saving and saving. Over 5 hours of playing it Just over a GB all the saved Files.

CAN WE RECRUIT NPC FOR COMBAT

there is one thing breaking the game, optimization. i cant play with my friends because multiplayer is lagging, is it temporary or should i upgrade my pc?

please tell me this will eventually come to xbox

SuuuuuuUUUUUU When for xbox X?

are you a one man army do you have some help fighting off bandits from NPC?

Can we craft a Kabuto?

Will this game come to console?

Multiplayer????

Tell me this is coming to console some time soon?!!

I feel like “Souls-Like” is just a buzz word now, this combat is nothing like Souls besides the fact that you can dodge lmao

アサシンクリードより戦闘が面白そう

i tried the game months ago but it made me sick :( i do not know what was the problem but first i had light head pain and dizzy head after continued to play it i felt i need to throw up so because of this i refundend the game. If it was fixed, i would totaly love to play this game. Mostly very old games are the only ones that i am not able to watch others play or to play them myself like example old dooms and old star wars dark forces game. Bit this game does not look like this kind of games so no clue...

XBOX yet?!

Now it looks so much better but please add character creation,simple like changing face and hair and color option for that... nothing special

Sexy war.

ps5？

Needs PVP

Lost me at souls like. Not everyone like anything souls like.

Ps4 ?

are we going ot be able to create our own army and seige others settlements or our settlement getting invaded

Still no farm animals? sad.
