Rise of the White Sun is a grand strategy experience like no other, plunging you into the tumultuous world of 1920s China. While it offers all the familiar mechanics—empire building, diplomatic negotiations, and large-scale military campaigns—its real strength lies in the unpredictable chaos of the Warlord era. You’ll find yourself juggling the ambitions of opium-addicted generals, cajoling unruly and underpaid soldiers, and navigating a web of secret deals that can explode at any moment.
