EGGCONSOLE First Queen IV PC-9801Switch eShop

Originally released in 1994 by Kure Software, this title is a real-time simulation game that takes the series' formula to the next level. Following the tradition of its predecessors, players deploy their forces on a tactical map and engage in combat using the signature "Gochachara System," where numerous characters clash in real-time. This entry introduces a new dual-unit combat system, enabling advanced maneuvers like pincer attacks or summoning reinforcements to rescue allies in a pinch. However, the same rules apply to your opponents—stay alert, as enemy reinforcements may arrive at any moment to turn the tide against you. The game features significant upgrades across both strategy and tactics, including a fatigue system that requires characters to rest to maintain peak performance, and the ability to hire mercenaries in towns. While there are many characters to recruit, brute force alone will not carry you through. Success relies on meticulous unit composition and strategic march planning. Build your own unique squads and strategies from a diverse cast of characters, and experience the largest scenario and deepest systems in the series' history. This is a must-play for any simulation fan.
