How to Install the Base Game and Update

If you have acquired the NSPUS base file and the UPD file, here is the standard installation process for Switch users:

  1. Install the Base Game: First, install the main .nsp file. This installs the core game version (often version 0 or 1.0.0).
  2. Install the Update: Next, install the update file. This is usually a smaller file that patches the base game.
  3. The "Golden Rule" (Key Master): Ensure your Switch firmware is compatible with the game version. Newer games often require newer firmware versions to decrypt and run the files correctly.
  4. File Structure: Ensure you are not double-dipping. Do not install an older update over a newer one. Always install the latest cumulative update available.

Key Features of the Remake:

  • All-Officer Play: Choose from over 1,000 historical figures or create your own. You can serve a lord, become a free officer, or betray your allies to seize power.
  • Deep RPG Mechanics: Build friendships, get married, adopt children, and train your stats through a seasonal calendar.
  • Tactical Combat: The tactical layer is turn-based, utilizing unit types, magic-like "Tactics," and terrain advantages.
  • The "Synthesis" System: This new feature allows you to combine the strategies of your allies to unleash devastating combo attacks.

How to Install (For Backup/Legitimate Users)

For stock Switch (eShop purchase):

  1. Insert cart or download base game.
  2. Connect to Wi-Fi → Highlight game icon → Press + → "Software Update" → "Via the Internet".

For CFW users (using installed NSP + update):

  1. Install base NSP via TinWoo or DBI.
  2. Install update NSP (e.g., 0100F8D01E2C8000_v1.3.0.nsp) – do not install update before base.
  3. Boot with Sigpatches enabled. Use the same region update as base game.

⚠️ Warning: Using mismatched region updates or unofficial mods can corrupt save data. Always backup via JKSV first.
