For example, the outcome during the battle phase will be affected by which general you choose to side with.ĭuring the battle phase, Kessen II can display up to 500 soldiers onscreen - five times the number in Kessen I. Though details have not been disclosed, Kessen II will include more elements during these phases. The first Kessen let you plot conspiracies where generals of the opposing force might betray their loyalties and end up working with you. The strategy and meeting phases involve planning between you and the generals. The gameplay is similar to that in the first Kessen: You go through briefing, strategy, drama, and meeting phases, and then you enter the main battle. When you win a battle, though, there are different paths to take, and the story branches off. Unlike in the first Kessen, no alternate scenarios occur if you lose a battle in one stage. But fret not - fans of Romance of the Three Kingdoms can expect to see key events from the epic saga included in the storyline.
The first Kessen closely followed the storyline according to Japanese history books, but the sequel will have a more original storyline. In Kessen II you will play ten stages in one game, for a total of more than 30 stages after you've played through the game using the alternate characters. In the first Kessen you played through seven stages in one game, for a total of 11 stages after you played through using the secondary character. You can expect more than 40 hours of gameplay in Kessen II. Respected Kabuki performer Somegoro Ichikawa is the model and voice for Zhuge Liang. Japanese idol Emiri Nakayama is the model and voice for Diao Chan, and Hinako Saeki will do voices for Queen Himiko. Veteran voice actors Toru Furuya (Gundam, Sailor Moon) and Makio Inoue (Captain Harlock) will play as Liu Bei and Cao Cao, respectively. Talents from all sectors of the Japanese entertainment industry will lend a hand in Kessen II.
The Wu kingdom led by Sun Quan will appear as the third influence in the game and will play a key role in the main story of Kessen II. Koei hasn't mentioned specifics, but you can expect other hidden features after finishing the game. Although in the first game you could play as the opposing force after playing through the game once, the sequel does not let you play as Cao Cao. You take the role of the Liu Bei, leader of the Shu kingdom, in his battle against his rival, Cao Cao, leader of the Wei kingdom. Kessen II borrows its concept from the Chinese epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is centered on the Shu and Wei kingdoms. Koei recently announced Kessen II for the Sony PlayStation2, which, according to producer Kou Shibusawa, is a historical fantasy drama.
