Early titles

Gendai Daisenryaku (現代大戦略, Modern Great Strategy) is the first title in the series released exclusively for the NEC PC-98 in November 1985.[1] It sold 20,000 copies.[9]

Its successor, Daisenryaku II, modified game systems including the order of unit's move, the defence statistic of cities, indirect fire, warships, and increased a variety of weapons.[2] It sold 50,000 copies.[9] Daisenryaku II was too rich and complex for 8-bit computers, so it was ported to 8-bit computers and gaming consoles as a simplified version titled Super Daisenryaku.[2]

Daisenryaku III changed the game system from turn-based strategy to real-time strategy. Daisenryaku titles for the PC-98 had been developed for its built-in BASIC interpreter (N88-BASIC(86), a variant of Microsoft BASIC). Daisenryaku III was very slow, so it was superseded by the pre-compiled distribution of Daisenryaku III '90.[10]

Dai Senryaku VII: Modern Military Tactics (known simply as Daisenryaku VII in Japan) is a turn-based tactics videogame for the Microsoft Xbox, which was produced by Kemco and released in 2004 (in the United States). In December 2007 the game was brought to the PlayStation 2 by Valcon Games with slightly simplified graphics. The game remained the most recent in the series to get a localized release in the United States until the release of Daisenryaku Perfect 4.0 for PC in 2018[13], although the latter received an incomplete translation.

The game can be played as one of eight countries consisting of the United States, Japan, France, Germany, Russia, United Kingdom, Israel, or China. The game map is now in 3D and can be rotated. There is a Missions mode, Campaign (PS2 only), Free Play, and Map Editor available to players.

Missions mode acts as the game's story mode, documenting a war between the Blue and Red armies. There are 25 missions in total, with unlockable maps and additional units becoming available as a completion bonus. The PlayStation exclusive campaign mode features numerous maps featuring real-life locations and scenarios. One such campaign, the "East Mediterranean War," has the player commanding Russian forces in an attempt to secure a Mediterranean base in Cyprus and aiding Syrian forces in Lebanon fighting the US and Israel. The campaign missions allow PS2 players to unlock units that were originally blocked behind passcodes on the Xbox.

The PlayStation Portable version also includes Sweden, however, the game map cannot be rotated.
