Tenco’s Eiyu*Senki: The World Conquest made its English-language debut on the PlayStation 3, published by the team at Fruitbat Factory. As one would expect of a console edition, this was an all-ages edition of the game rather than the original 18+ edition it was first offered as in Japan. A few years down the line, JAST USA have given adult visual novel fans the chance to experience the game in its original form.
The uncut edition of Eiyu*Senki: The World Conquest comes with all the unlockable romance scenes, uncensored for the very first time.
There are three physical versions of the uncut version now available, with different goodies depending on how much money you are willing to part with. More information on each set is available below:

JAST USA have also confirmed that a standard Steam edition of Eiyu*Senki: The World Conquest will be available from November 10 2017. While this won’t contain the uncensored romantic scenes, it does share some of the enhancements offered across both versions. These includes being closer to the original Japanese release with new scenes not available on the PS3 edition, and an improved translation.
The Story
Eiyu*Senki: The World Conquest is set in a world run by powerful nations where heroes battle one another for control, Britannia wishes to unite the world through peace, while the European Union has taken an aggressive stance. The seafaring nation of Vinland thrives on pillaging and plundering, while far to the East, the island country of Zipang is faced with civil war. In the midst of all this Himiko, a ruler in Zipang, seeks to unite the world for the sake of peace. Her ambitions are high but so far she has only seen defeat. One day, while retreating from battle, a mysterious hero falls from the sky and joins Himiko’s cause. The two now set their sights on the war burning around them.
The Gameplay
While playing, you will encounter characters inspired by real historical figures and mythological icons, including King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus, Rasputin, Kamehameha of Hawaii, Beethoven and many more. There are over 70 characters who can join your side, each with their own valuable battle skills and side-quest storylines. Your battle party can have up to six members, with the goal of giving you “millions of possibilities to form your “dream time” to take down monsters, zombies, dragons, and evil villains”. The game features tactics based combat, which they claim “starts out simple and grows in difficulty as new enemies and abilities are unlocked”.
