The series still needs to find the right balance between depth and instant fun, but this is proof that Koei is getting closer to the elusive formula with each sequel. A very good game from Koei and in my opinion it is probably the best entry in the Kessen series for the experience and atmosphere alone. Kessen III manages to prove that strategy and fun aren’t mutually exclusive in the war sim genre. A wealth of interesting characters both allied and enemies make scenes and encounters varied, the gameplay at times can feel a bit repetitive but the experience and variety of landscapes and findable items/treasures can make up for that. The game includes notable battles for the Sengoku Era which you must overcome to advance in the story. The story follows his rise in an attempt to unify Japan along with his good friends and generals. The plot is an interesting adaptation of the tale of Nobunaga Oda, refreshingly painting him as a heroic character as opposed to the Demon King most fan are used to. It lacks the military strategy depth of games like Total War but in that it makes the game very accessible. With the ability to control your units and attach support units such as stone-throwers and archers to co-ordinate attacks with. The game has an actiony-rts kind of feel to it forsaking the usual aerial view and mouse controls for more action orientated commands made for a controller. This is Kessen III and it brings together a couple of styles in a fresh way that manages to hold its flavor through the whole game. You play as Nobunaga, a warrior who must stand against legions of samurai to resurrect a land rife with chaos and sorrow. For those who have been hankering for more strategy in their hacknslash titles or more action in their strategy titles, Koei has created a hybrid that should have some appeal for both camps. The story begins at the heart of Japans turbulent Sengoku, or 'warring states,' period. Strangely enough it's the story that really drives the game, however. Kessen III marks the Kessen franchises return to Japanese history and aesthetics. Koei have a tendancy to bring out some rather impressive games and Kessen III is one of them, I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game and have Koei have a tendancy to bring out some rather impressive games and Kessen III is one of them, I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game and have done a number of times trying out different generals and combinations as well as replaying to find the generals who you need to go out of your way to find and recruit to your cause. Kessen III marks a new phase in the series-it combines the old Kessen formula with more RPG-like elements and a solid infusion of both real strategy and more coherent, if still limited, action.
