Independent developer petitmonte has released the real-time strategy game 'Peasant Samurai ~ The Country Held by Peasants' on PC via Steam. The game casts players as a peasant, not a warlord, focusing on village building, resource management, and domestic affairs over combat. It starts in 1488 and ends after 100 years or when all territories are acquired. The game is priced at 980 yen, with a 20% discount until August 17.
The game begins in 1488 and is cleared when 100 years pass or all territories are acquired. Players support the nation through agriculture, develop the village, and occasionally take up arms to face the approaching Oda army. The title emphasizes a gentle passage of time and a nation shaped by daily life, with an immersive experience built on music and environmental sounds.
petitmonte describes the game as an unconventional Sengoku-period RTS that focuses on life and domestic affairs rather than war, featuring a calm atmosphere. The subtitle 'The Country Held by Peasants' refers to a country ruled by peasants themselves, based on historical background.
