KESSEN 3 MINOR BATTLES HOW TO
KESSEN 3 MINOR BATTLES PS2

Get one unit right in the middle and it's possible to knock them back and forth with an ally until their strength dwindles to nothing. With multiple units fighting one other unit or even a group of units it's best to flank the opposition. With the terrain that can sport some steep hills the force that is uphill has a definite advantage in the fighting. The landscape truly does take much more importance here. The trick is not just tapping the square button to constantly attack, but really everything that surrounds that to form an entire strategy. The action is a simplified combo system with only seven different possibilities and many of these are just a matter of stopping short from the four attacks that can be done in a row. In the different battles it's possible to switch to any unit that's still alive and when there the player controls all of the attacks along with the movement.

The location has been switched back to 16th century to follow Odu Nobunaga's quest to unite Japan and the action is completely different. This time around, everything has been turned on its head. It was strategy, but realism was also told to take a hike in the process. To make sure there was some extra spice in the action the officers themselves had some special skills that could have a minor effect or get all Biblical by creating a huge fissure in the ground to swallow up the enemies.

These epic fights took place over huge expanses of land that were flat as far as the PS2 could see. The previous Kessen titles have focused on large scale battles in which battalions clash and players can swap control to the leaders inside the fray.
