this game was tough but it is winnable - was there ever a sequel or game that tried to replicate it later on ?

Afraid not. It was the last title published in the US, on the PC, by KOEI. They never understood the American market, and until the end, they never bothered using US programmers on their development team. Too bad they pulled the plug just when they got that straightened out, and finally produced a non-Oriental title that might have appealed to US gamers. But they pulled the plug on all PR quickly, and Balor of the Evil Eye made few friends.

For style of gameplay, the nearest thing is King of Dragon Pass. According to A-Sharp, developers of KoDP, that was purely chance: they'd never seen or played KOEI titles. But if you like that sort of thing (and I do, quite a bit), check out A-Sharp's website.
