BaseSon and Shiravune have announced that it will release visual novel Souten Koihime: Dawn of Sovereignty for PC via Steam. It will be available in English and Chinese.
The game’s release date is currently unknown. However, the Steam page describes the game as follows:
Story
The First Emperor—the man who united the whole of China for the first time—is dead. Around the country, rival factions battle for the right to succeed him.
“Kings and nobles are not produced by birth!”
Those words spur not only patriotic warriors with high-minded ideals but also the avaricious and ambitious into action.
Meanwhile, in the celestial realm, Sima Qian—the apprentice Keeper of Alternate Histories—has a dream.
He sees the world of men in turmoil, collapsing as a black wave swallows it up.
Unable to stand by and watch an alternate history fall amid such chaos, Sima Qian breaks the law of the celestial realm to venture into the human world alone.
And in that world of men, two dazzling stars appear.
These stars are… Xiang Yu and Liu Bang!
The age of the Red Dragon Maiden and the Vicious King is about to begin.
Liu Bang (Ouka) – Voice: Yuki Nekomura
“I’m the Red Dragon Maiden, and I’m gonna become the king of the continent!”
Self-proclaimed “Red Dragon Maiden.”
An energetic girl who wishes to become the “king of the continent” for reasons as mundane as getting to eat good food, wear good clothes, live in luxury… and be freer than anyone else.
Just as she is leaving her job as a strict government official to become a bandit chief, Sima Qian falls from the sky before her, and she chooses to stand up for the sake of the world, its people, and herself.
With nothing but her determination to become the king, she treats the dreaded Xiang Yu as if she were an equal and even becomes sworn sisters with her.
Both her skill in battle and her resourcefulness are average, but many officers follow her, drawn to her all-consuming courage and character. She even accepts Sima Qian—whose true identity is hidden—as a comrade.
