KESSEN III PS3
KESSEN III PS2

It is the middle of the turbulent Sengoku or 'warring states' period.

Summary: Kessen III marks the franchise's return to Japanese history and aesthetics.There is no game like this game that I know of. I accidentally scratched my first cd but repurchased it later on Ebay because I couldn't be without it. I couldn't stop playing this game for weeks. This game is sick if you give it a chance. During game play you can refer back to your strategy map and tell your units where to head to complete your objectives. There is another unit almost like rock-sling throwers who when they attack in support mode will not kill your men but will cause them to fall down. The unrealistic thing about this is that only your enemy gets killed and not your own. For instance, if your main unit is Swordsmen they can be backed up by archers which you can use your L2 or L1 button to sound the horn to signal for them to fire. Each unit is paired with 1-2 secondary units that will back up the main unit.

I just wish they would make a KESSEN 3 for PS3 or 360!!!ĭuring game play you can decide to switch into different units if you see that they are suffering in battle. I can't say anything bad about this game. The story line is interesting with some plot twists. Each unit has a special attack initiated by holding a button which charges your unit as they form proper attach posture and when the button is released your unit attacks with a heavy blow. Also you can equip your unit leaders with armor and weapons that will improve the units abilities. During this mode you can also pick up extra items like money or reinforceme nts and such.Īt the beginning of each mission you can lay out your units with each unit leader either calvary, ninjas, samurais, archers, archers on horses, spear troops, calvary with spears, rifle units. The unit leader can also use special abilities to affect your unit to run faster, up your attack level, defense level or you can go into a mode similar to Dynasty Warriors where your unit commander fights single handedly against the opposing unit cutting their number down to size depending on how many you can kill. Instead of leading one character you control your own unit and attack altogether at one time. I've played Dynasty Warriors for PS3/360 and I still love Kessen 2 over any Dynasty Warrior game that's out there to date.

This game has sophisticated music and awesome gameplay.

KESSEN III PS2

It's the only game I still play from my PS2 days and the reason why I kept my PS2. This is the last title I purchased on my PS2. Each act of conquest follows a progression of diplomatic Conference stages, strategic War Council stages, and finally, the actual battles themselves. Battles are strung together on a historical storyline, and players can custom-develop their characters as they progress through the campaign. The game offers command of large, diverse armies that can join with computer-controlled allied forces on the battlefield to execute joint maneuvers and attacks. In the role of Oda Nobunaga, players will fight through a lifetime of battles in their quest to unite the country. Like the original (but not the first sequel), Kessen III is set in feudal Japan during the 'Warring States' period. The game allows players to switch between different units and give orders on the fly, promoting more fluid, intense warfare than was seen in earlier versions of the title. Orders can now be issued to troops in the heat of the fight, and they will respond immediately. The second follow-up to the complex PS2 launch title, Kessen III adds real-time battles to the strategic gameplay of its predecessors.
