History VideoGame / EiyuuSenkiTheWorldConquest

''Eiyuu Senki: The World Conquest'' is a hybrid StrategyRPG initially released on [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] in 2013. It then received a UsefulNotes/PS3 and a UsefulNotes/PSVita port, the former of which was localized for the United States in late 2015. It takes place in an alternate earth wherein every single one of the historical heroes represented throughout the story that was a man is now a woman. Himiko, the Queen of the Yamatai province in Zipang, has had a vision heralding TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and realized that the only way to face the oncoming darkness is to TakeOverTheWorld and unite the world's heroes behind her cause.

A sequel, titled ''Eiyuu Senki GOLD'' was first released in 2014, with its English version eventually coming out on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} and Creator/{{JAST}}'s official website in June 2021. It features a rebalanced cast as well as new characters, and introduces an item fusion system. The plot acts as a "WhatIf" for the original; instead of Chihaya appearing before Queen Himiko, he's found on Zipang's shore by Masamune Date, whose ambition is to end Zipang's isolationism by conquering it and then go on to rule the entire world.

* LastNameBasis: Several characters, like Columbus, Cook and Magellan, are only ever referred to by their last names with no hint of their first names.

** ''War Wonder'' introduces new factions that also feature heroes from different parts of the world, like the Eastern Marauders, the Landsknecht and the Knights Templar.

A spin-off mobile game, titled ''Eiyuu Senki: War Wonder'', and an adults only version titled ''WWX'', was released in 2018 and would be shut down in March 2022. It greatly expands the cast and even introduces new factions.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: ''Over half of the character outfits.'' Unsurprising since this was originally an eroge. RuleOfSexy runs abound as characters don armor pieces with low-cut fronts and missing lower parts.

* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: While many characters have normal hair colors, like Himiko's black hair and Arthur's blonde, but many others have quite the color palette, like Nobunaga's red hair, Kublai Khan's blue, Kamehameha's green, Alexander's magenta ''and'' blue, Copernicus' blue hair that turns purple and so on.

** Arthur's historical existence is debatable, but it's evident that this game draws its portrayal of her and her knights from the [[Myth/KingArthur classic Arthurian legends]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Over 70 playable characters join by the end.

* AccidentalHero: The Zipang army indirectly saves Qin Shi Huang's life by spreading rumors that she is on her death bed, prompting Sun Tzu to rush back to the palace. She ends up breaking Qin Shi Huang's medicine bottle by mistake when she was about to take a larger dose than normal. [[spoiler: Given said "medicine" was actually liquid mercury, that extra dose could have easily killed her.]]

* BookEnds: The game ends [[spoiler: on the same hill where Chihaya first appeared.]]

** The Ancient Heroes, apart from [[spoiler: Takeru]] who is an absolute LightningBruiser with no weakness, all excels at one particular aspect while falling short in the others. The most egregious example being Hercules, who scores 12 in attack, but only 2 in defence and 3 in speed, leaving her with the second-worst overall stats in the whole game.
** Oddly enough, the final boss [[spoiler: Nyarlathotep herself also falls into this category. She only has two skills: "Charge", which gives her 2 [[{{Mana}} Brave Orbs]], but has a charge-up time and can be easily interrupted, and [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos "Creeping Chaos"]], which is a terrifying OneHitKill attack [[LimitBreak costing 10 Brave Orbs]]. This setup makes her pretty much an "all or nothing" unit, meaning that she will either [[CurbStompBattle annihilates your party with ease]], or gets perpetually stuck with a unfilled [[ManaMeter Brave Meter]] and [[CycleOfHurting unable to fight back]] because your character with the ManaDrain skill is constantly sucking her dry.]]

* LadyNotAppearingInThisGame: [[spoiler: Musashi Miyamoto]]. She's mentioned in conjunction with [[spoiler: Sasaki Kojiro]] and Chihaya even hopes she'll join the Zipang army, but she doesn't actually appear in the game at all.

A sequel, titled ''Eiyuu Senki GOLD'' was released in 2014, and an English version has been announced to be released in February 2021.

** Himiko's outfit is essentially [[{{VideoGame/Touhou}} Reimu Hakurei's]] miko robe with even more ridiculously oversized sleeves. The rest, including the gigantic hair ribbon, are basically identical.

A sequel, titled ''Eiyuu Senki GOLD'' was released in 2014, and has been announced to be localized, but with no date as of now.

* SelfImposedChallenge: The game encourages them: Trophies for a winning battle with just Chihaya and winning a battle without taking any damage, rewards for conquering harder regions ahead of schedule, and numerous possibilities the player could come up with.

* ChekhovsGun: When Takeru shows Chihaya her pendants during early of the game. [[spoiler:Later on you'll realize that it come from the Illuminati]]

** On the other hand, Gilgamesh's character design is blatantly similar to the female Gilgamesh from VisualNovel/FateStayNight， albeit slightly more {{Stripperiffic}}.

There's only one small problem: Himiko is a ''terrible'' military leader and has suffered multiple defeats in her attempts at unifying Zipang. After suffering another loss at the hands of Nobunaga Oda, Himiko is ambushed by bandits on her way home to Yamatai. Just as it looks like she's going to be killed before her campaign can truly begin, a mysterious light shines down from above, an unknown man with golden eyes appears and saves Himiko. This man, declared to be a Servant of Heaven but whose name is actually Chihaya, actually has no memory of who he is, but he and Himiko pledge their loyalty to each other and, upon uniting Zipang, he becomes the Supreme Commander of Himiko's army to aid her in her world conquest.

* [[JapanTakesOverTheWorld Zipang Takes Over The World]]: The Game. The first arc involves the unification of Zipang and the world conquest escalates from there.

** The Protagonist himself looks distinctly like Rance. Given that Creator/AliceSoft helped Tenco with the game design during development, this was probably not a coincidence.

** Nyarlathotep is obviously taken from [[Creator/HPLovecraft the Lovecraftian Mythology]], which becomes even more apparent once she transforms into her OneWingedAngel form.
