It is the only game in the series to include a dual language option, allowing the player to switch between the English and Japanese voices. Additional playthroughs unlocks cinematics that show a second side to the story as well as an additional ending. The game's story remains modestly faithful to his historical battles until Mitsuhide's betrayal at Honnoji. As time passes, Tokichiro and Motoyasu will also be called by their recognizable historical names. He and his generals visually age as the game progresses and adopt a new attire various times throughout the game. Nobunaga Oda is the uncommonly heroic protagonist with a sincere ambition to end the land's chaos. May you be carried away in the excitement of battle and the thrill of commanding legions of your own troops in your quest for peace and power. "Kessen III" represents a new style of game play, standing at the confluence of Action and Strategy genres, which unifies the worlds of interactive entertainment and cinema. In the game's manual, the producer gives the following foreword: The game claims to recount the history of the Samurai Warriors characters (a similar notation was also made for Saihai no Yukue).
It implements gameplay elements from the Warriors series and is the longest title of the three. The environments are fairly nondescript and the character models are somewhat plain - but they look good while moving and the result is a frame rate never really slows down despite the appearance of dozens of warriors on the screen at the same time.Kessen III (決戦III) is the final known Kessen title. Graphics in Kessen III are generally well done but not outstanding. This makes Kessen III lean more towards the action side, although a healthy strategy (such as flanking opponents or setting pincers to trap opponents between your troops) is required to win the harder battles.
With such limited deployment options available to you in the War Council section, you'll find most of your strategic decisions being made on the fly while in Battle mode.
Strategies can be quickly changed on the fly if required - if some troops accidentally walk into an ambush, you can rapidly send support from your other units, or even take control of the besieged troops yourself. This, along with the fact that you can set new orders and waypoints for all your other troops will on the field, means players can micro manage the battles to their hearts' content. While on the battlefield, players can quickly switch and control any other friendly unit by pressing the L2 button. There are a few limited combos you can perform on enemy troops, but for the most part tapping the attack button should see you through most encounters. Players use the left joystick to maneuver, with the Square button used for attack, Triangle for special skills and X for retreat. Kessen III in Battle mode plays more like Dynasty Warriors, although instead of one character, you'll be controlling a whole squad of soldiers at the same time. You'll even come across enemy barricades and encampments which you'll either have to destroy or find a way around to proceed. Troops will move faster going downhill, for example, and any unit that has the high ground will have a distinct combat advantage. Instead of large open, flat terrains which were the hallmark of previous Kessens, Kessen III features smaller maps with varied terrain that can have a significant impact on skirmishes. Knowing exactly which troops to deploy is vital to success - some types of troops may be more vulnerable against others, while troops who've fought too many battles in a row will fight less effectively.īattle is where you'll spend most of your time in Kessen III, and is also the area where this game departs more from its prequels. Players then assign which of their own troops they want on the field, give those troops attack orders, set the aggressiveness of allied generals and more. In the War Council, players are shown an overhead map of the battlefield and the position of known enemy troops (although there's still plenty of 'hidden' enemy troops to be found once you're actually in Battle mode). After choosing your battle, you're taken to the War Council, which is where most of the strategy element of Kessen III kicks in.
