Its successor, Daisenryaku II, modified game systems including the order of unit's move, the defence statistic of cities, indirect fire, warships, and increased a variety of weapons. It sold 50,000 copies. Daisenryaku II was too rich and complex for 8-bit computers, so it was ported to them and gaming consoles as a simplified version titled Super Daisenryaku.

Daisenryaku III changed the game system from turn-based strategy to real-time strategy. Daisenryaku titles for the PC-98 had been developed for its built-in BASIC interpreter (N88-BASIC (86), a variant of Microsoft BASIC). Daisenryaku III was very slow, so it was superseded by the pre-compiled distribution of Daisenryaku III '90.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ss-alpha.co.jp/special/DS/enthusiast/simulation6.html|title=日本シミュレーション紀行(6) 大戦略III'90|website=Daisenryaku Online Special|publisher=SystemSoft Alpha|access-date=2019-03-28}}
