This is a very strange RTS set in The feudals of the japan! Basically the land is torn between 2 Huge forces. Leyasu Tokugawa and the Toyotomi loyalists and the Oda remnants still fighting to unite the land!!! You start off as the Tokugawa but u can unlock The other side :).
The gameplay is as in most kessen games, goes in a series of scenarious like thus: FMV,Cut scene,Battle plan,Battle,FMV,Post battle.
It works quite well and the battles are enjoyable but very long. They require patience as your men move around the vast levels ridin,shooting! burnin lootin!. All of your generals who seem to have the pre-requisite of Long pointy hats have access to various abillities from Rallying their troops to sending Ninja out into the enemy.
The graphics are Incredible for a 5 yr old game and have aged insanely well!!! The FMV's especially are mind blowing!!! Trust me the detail and sheer size and shots are all amazing.
The sound is pretty gd and fits the scene of the game duders! The Voice work could use a little tuning up but its passable.
Overall a very interesting little RTS with mucho replay valuo!
