When I started the first Sengoku I wanted to play one each day and honestly while the first two games have their issues especially the first one. They still have neat ideas for the genre and I actually liked the 2nd one a lot. At the end of my review of 2, I was actually hoping this one would improve even more from that game. Sadly what I got is a game that doesn't even feel like it's part of the same series.
I actually did try to play the game on the 5th of October but I was so disgusted at what this game was, I dropped it by the time I got to the boss and played more Deathsmiles (I swear I'll make a review on that soon.) It just was shocking at what I was playing. There was this awful delay to moves and the game lost everything that made sengoku 2 interesting and fun. The game even had awful bosses again how freaking swell. But now I tried it again and I hate it even more then last time.
This game really wants to be a combocentric beat em up and honestly it fails at being so. Your moves just don't feel like they have good hitboxes and also feel like they have delay which is hilarious considering how fast your moves were in Sengoku 1 and 2. It also has this level select for the first three stages and then just never does it again because I guess they want to be like Thunder Force but without the fun.
The enemy variety gets repetitive in fact the whole game is repetitive and not in a fun way. The problems you might have early on just get worse and worse and it drove me to the point I had to put the controller down and just sit on my bed doing nothing for 10 seconds just so I wouldn't go insane. The bosses are so atrocious, they are exactly the kind I hate in this genre and some of them just don't know when to die. They don't even have cool designs like the last game.
I could go on and on but I don't want to write like 7 more paragraphs of me complaining but while this game starts strong if you just pretend its not a sequel to Sengoku 2, it just gets worse and worse to the point it becomes bad. I don't want to replay the game. This isn't Sengoku 3, this is just beat em up #239 with the Sengoku name put on it. This was a huge disappointment and even though the game looks nice, I don't even care because it's just your typical stuff you seen before. Anyway screw this game I'm going to pretend now the series ended at 2 so I can say the series ended on a good note.
