Gameplay

Development

Rising Sun was developed by TalonSoft as the last game in its Campaign series,[2] following titles such as East Front and West Front.[3] It was released on February 1, 2000.[4]

Reception

Rising Sun received an average score of 82% on the review aggregation website GameRankings.[5] The game was nominated for Computer Games Magazine's 2000 "Wargame of the Year" award.[6] Computer Gaming World nominated Rising Sun in the same category, but gave the prize to Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord. The editors called Rising Sun a "terrific" title that "took the traditional hex-based wargame to its zenith".[7]

In Computer Games Magazine, Carl Lund wrote that Rising Sun's "epic scope and sheer massiveness ensure replayability for months, if not years, to come."[2] Bruce Geryk of Computer Gaming World similarly praised the game for "tak[ing] the hex-based, sequential-turn wargame to a level of refinement previously unseen".[1]

Legacy

Sequel

Although announced as the final game in the Campaign series, Rising Sun received a follow-up in 2001 under the title Divided Ground: Middle East Conflict 1948-1973.
