Though the graphics aren't anything new, the game still looks better than a majority of the PS2 games out there. You'll be witnessing the same specials over and overЕ.and overЕЕagain.

As such, the action tends to get repetitive as well. In order to achieve victory with the best grade possible, most of the time you'll be using your strongest units with the best abilities to cut down your enemies, leaving you without having to use too much brainpower. While the developers tried to find the right mix of УactionФ with УstrategyФ, the game does tend to get repetitive at times without much strategy involved as well.

Better grades means more items and money for the player to upgrade his/her units.

When the battle's goal has ended, grades are issued to the player based on the number of officers defeated, the number of troops lost, troop efficiency, etc. When the count reaches 100 kills, the enemy officer shows up and if the player can defeat him or her, even more bonus stats are added turning УrampageФ into an essential move. Taking a page out of Koei's own Dynasty Warriors series, the action is zoomed into the officer where they can begin to gather items, health, and experience. One new feature added to Kessen III has been the addition of a УrampageФ skill. In order to turn the tide during battle, officers can learn special skills and abilities such as magic and various formations. Every officer can be issued a different type of units prior to battle (ninja, cavalry, spearmen, etc.), each with their own unique set of skills. Thankfully switching is as simple as pressing the УL2Ф button on the controller at anytime.īattles begin when one friendly unit encounters an enemy unit, and is measured according to how many troops each unit has remaining in its ranks. While this allows players to have a bit more direct control over their army, it's almost essential for players to switch between units or risk losing them. Unlike previous Kessen's however, not all units can be used during every battle as a fatigue system is used in order to help add balance to the overall game.ĭuring actual combat, players are given the opportunity to choose a unit and issuing them orders while having the rest of the army being controlled by the computer. During the planning phase, units can be selected where to go and be issued orders allowing for strategic placing of units across the map. Players begin their battle by selecting which units to take with them before choosing a basic marching order.

While previous Kessen games relied majorily on strategic placing of units with the use of special abilities, the developers of Kessen III decided to refine the gameplay elements of Kessen in order to make it more of an action/strategy game. From his marriage to Lady Kicho in 1549 to his tragic death in 1582, Nobunaga's ambition to conquer Japan for the benefit of its people is shown in a new light. While most games and anime have portrayed him as a villain, Kessen III reveals him in a different light as a tragic character that actually cared for his country. This time around, Nobunaga Oda's life takes center stage and plays out during the course of his life starting in 1560 and ending in 1590. From a realistic portrayal of the Tokoguwa Shogunate to a romanticized version of China's the Three Kingdoms period, Kessen has presented players a chance to rewrite history by leading armies to victory during periods of intense historical warfare.
