At the time i wanted a DS so i could play this game. Never got a ds but could get hands on the game.
This game has a lot of content and everything looks good. Sprites are wonderful and stages looks great.
Since its in japanese i could never take full advantage of this game. This game has a lot of text and so it really holds me back even with translations guides.
The older i got the more i see how clunky the battle system is, i have so much difficulty having fun in longs period of time.
This game could be WAY more better if the combat system wasn't so slow and i could understand the language.

When i started playing i got disappointed but eventually it started to grow on me. Turn Base with fighting is actually better than it sounds, it was somewhat of a refresher from the turn base.
There is something that really makes me attracted to, the art direction. The style looks dark but looks good, it pleases my eyes for some reason.
But in the end this games has BIG flaws. First flaw is the story, its all text and still images.
The second and BIGGEST flaw is the lack of free mode. The battle system can only be experienced in the story mode or in versus mode. Versus mode is exclusively to 2players so if u want to combat you need to get someone to play with you.

We all know how disastrous this localization is but i truly believe this is a nice alternative to the original series.
The only thing i really can't defense is the story/name changes, they should've stick with the original game representation. They also removed some characters which makes no sense.
The rest is a interesting change. Instead of one combo string and two special attacks like the original we know have 2 combos strings and 2 specials. Its actually satisfying to connect them and get the basara gauge fast.
One good thing i can also praise is the voice acting, for some reason the voice acting its actually good and left a good impression on me.
Another thing i can praise is the models they changed up for this localization cause honestly they were pretty good.
At first this game sucks cause its a horrible localization of Sengoku Basara but after you try and think about it, it isn't that bad. One thing is certain, if they did a good localization Sengoku Basara would be more popular in the west and more successful.
