Warlord: Awaji | Samurai Game Review

The Shogunate posted nothing new, but its samurai-history catalog brought in roughly 112,000 views and another 1,000 subscribers. Today's viewing is a little busier than the channel's usual daily pace, with games, government and battlefield equipment all finding an audience.

"Warlord: Awaji | Samurai Game Review" is the busiest of its active videos right now. Developed and published by Darkmatter Games, the game gives the channel a chance to explore the Nanboku-cho period, rather than the more familiar settings of many samurai games. This was Japan's era of rival Northern and Southern imperial courts, a useful bit of context for the review's focus on how the game portrays the conflict.

The older "Samurai Laws of the Edo Period (Buke Shohatto)" takes a different approach to warrior power: how to regulate it. The supplemental Edo-series lesson follows the establishment of Tokugawa authority, successive laws for warrior houses and their enforcement. It is drawing slightly more daily views than "Samurai Shields: History, Usage, and Comparisons," which challenges the familiar picture of Japanese warfare without shields by examining forms that worked differently from their counterparts elsewhere.

Among nearby education channels, The Geography Bible had a similar-sized week for views, while Easy English added more subscribers on a smaller weekly audience. For The Shogunate, the upload break leaves a particularly varied reading list: a game set amid divided imperial authority, rules for keeping warrior houses in line, and the shields that popular samurai imagery can overlook.
