Daiteikoku is a long-awaited AliceSoft wartime strategy game with an adult element, and fans who have followed it for years are glad to see a full English translation finally arrive. Most reviewers praise its characters, humour and fish-ship absurdity, with one calling it amazingly fun despite being repetitive. Recurring criticisms are the combat, which players find silly because offensive battles can't be lost, and the design's repetitiveness. The new AI-assisted translation is generally considered readable and far cleaner than the old partial patch, though it mistranslates some Japanese and Chinese names and a few UI details. The game's nationalist, propagandistic framing and its adult content (including the CORE route with robot content) divide opinion. Some players dislike it, while others say the politics don't matter to them. Community feedback is moderate and mostly from the early build.
Description
Dai Teikoku ("Great Empire") is a Japanese adult strategy game by AliceSoft, set in the year 939 of the United Space Age. Long before the present, humanity spread across distant star regions and formed independent nations, which could not easily contact one another. The discovery of "warp gates" connected these isolated regions and began an age of expansion, in which nations conquered and absorbed one another to redraw the map of the known worlds.
At the start of the story, three great powers are moving toward war. The Eris Empire, the largest nation, plans to suppress and dominate a chaotic world, while the ancient Japanese Empire, worn down by a long conflict with the Chinese Empire, has become a target for its rivals. The game combines sci-fi and fantasy elements with turn-based combat and strategic management of the conflict.
The game includes explicit sexual content and features multiple endings, a large cast of female characters, and a voiced Japanese soundtrack. The official release is censored with mosaics, and this English version is an unofficial translation with a long playtime of roughly fifty hours.
