Uncharted Waters

Review: Console Archives L’Empereur (Nintendo Switch 2)

This review covers Hamster's Nintendo Switch re-release of Koei's 1991 historical simulation game, L’Empereur. While the game offers deep strategic gameplay for fans of the genre, its complex menus and lack of modern quality-of-life features make it a challenging experience for new players. The digital manual is praised for its faithfulness to the original, but the overall emulation approach is seen as outdated compared to other retro collections.
