Reviews - ReluctantBoss

The Rising Sun, as it stands, is a very solid mod. Two of the glaring issues, lack of pistols and the bottom half of "modern" uniform pants, was quickly addressed. As of the latest (unofficial) patch available for download the issues with ranged troops spawning with bows rather than firearms seems to be fixed.

With the speediness of the updates and the response to questions, concerns and reports, I'd say this mod has a bright future. I downloaded it 2 hours after it was released, and have had to start 4 new games since then due to updates, a problem I'm happy to have.

I would highly recommend this mod to fans of Japanese history, fans of late 19th century warfare and regular Warband players looking for a little something different.

All that said, I give Rising Sun: Bakamatsu a solid 9/10
