In Kessen III the player takes control of Nobunaga Oda, and unlike the previous two games, you cannot choose a side to play on, and Nobunaga has one goal only... to unify the lands and rid his world of misery and suffering. Following the prequels, this game comes with lots of cinematics and stays true to strategic as well as action gameplay, adding a few new things along the road, like collecting items during battles. The two main aspects of this game are planning and engaging in battle. Select officers and strategically place them on the field of battle, assign commands and issue orders. When on the battlefield, each of the officers, including Nobunaga, will have his/her army at their disposal which can be controlled at any point. Level-ups bring additional special attacks to both officers and their troops.

Great RTS, tons of depth, lots of great ideas going around. I played it again two years ago and it held up very well.

has a lot of replay abilitie mainly because it want to do everything in 1 play though you'll want to create a save to go back or play it bout 3-4 times

Kessen III mostly ditches the strategy aspect of the previous games and goes much more into action. You control an officer and his troops (whether it be cavalry, spearmen, archers, gunners etc.) and run around attacking, parrying and performing special attacks in unison with your troops. You can switch between your various officers and give them orders, making the game much faster paced. Allied units can now move through each other, which is a welcome addition to the series. The game features heaps of unlockable unit types and secret officers to recruit, though the limited number of troops on the battlefields (for you) kinda took away from the 'epic scale' battlefield feel the first two games were going for.

The story is no where near as wacky as II, but it still manages to be enjoyable, which an outrageous finale.

ein netter Mix aus Strategie und Dynasty Warriors, mit coolen Cutscenes für seine Zeit.

Leider sehr langsam.
Der Kampf selbst dauert meist keine 5 Minuten.
Dennoch dauert jede Mission ca. 15.
Keine Sequenz im Kampf kann übersprungen werden.

Wüten dauert locker 2-3 Minuten, ohne dass es wirklich Spaß macht.

I did not know I would love it so much. Great game :)
