Rising Sun is a turn-based strategy rooted in the realities of World War II. Players have the opportunity to take part in the 1941-1945 Pacific struggle. Developers from TalonSoft Inc. have anticipated more than 30 scenarios, based on authentic battles fought by the Allied and Japanese forces. Commanding takes place at the platoon level, and individual types of units have been mapped with attention to historical realities.

This is a turn-based strategic game that takes us to the Western Pacific, where in 1941 there were bloody battles between Japanese and Allied armies. After a treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese launched another, equally fierce attack on many strategic targets scattered all over the Pacific. Inhabitants of all areas from Singapore through Manila to the tiny island of Guam were directly threatened by the invasion.

The game allows us to take control of the troops of both sides of the conflict and take part in many famous battles, including Okinawa, Tarawa, Beito, and even in the groundbreaking war in the Pacific Ocean about Guadalcanal.

  • More than 30 scenarios, real historical battles between Japanese and American troops, English and allied troops, taking place between 1941 and 1945.
  • Command at the platoon level.
  • Four campaigns, including Japanese troops fighting for Manila in 1942 and commanding hardened "Leathernecks" while landing on the beaches of Guadalcanal.
  • Different types of terrain on which battles, wet and flooded meadows, jungles, coral reefs, etc. take place.
  • Actual uniforms and equipment of all fighting troops, US Marines, American, Japanese, British, Australian, New Zealand and many others.
