There is plenty of build-up throughout the series which finally culminates in an impressive battle of massive proportions.
While Oda Nobunaga provided a more mystical opponent, one full of dark magic and evil intentions, Hideyoshi provides a satisfyingly powerful opponent that is a bit more grounded in reality, though given the insane levels of action and strength demonstrated throughout the show, isn’t saying too much.Īs with the first season, Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings Season 2 continues to follow the same type of theme. Hideyoshi’s gaze goes far beyond just Japan however and with the cunning intelligence of his tactician Hanbei the warriors are presented with a man that provides a different sort of challenge from last season. With the arrival of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, this immediately puts a stop to the battles amongst the various factions and again puts a stall in the growing rivalry between Sanada and Masamune. However resumption of war between lords doesn’t last for very long as a new and powerful army seeks to unify Japan under one name once again, and this time around it is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a giant of a man so powerful he uses no weapon besides his own fists. This is a bit disappointing, as while some subplots carry over and some forces continue to work together, most alliances are severed with little care for the last season.Īs chaos reins on the battlefield our two main fighters from the past season, Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura continue to fight to see who is indeed the strongest. However that is not the case… despite just defeating the powerful and demonic Oda Nobunaga each army begins to battle against one another for dominance once again. The second season of Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings drops us right after the events of the first season, and one would think that the unification of nearly all of the warring generals would last at least a short while. While the review of the first season can be found here, does this season contain the same amount of over-the-top action as before? FUNimation has recently brought over the second season of the series to North American shores. Such is the case with Capcom’s Sengoku Basara video game series, and now with Production I.G.’s anime adaptation of the video games, Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings. In fact, it makes perfect material for a video game to be created around the era. That time period has long since passed, but that doesn’t mean that an era chock full of combat could so easily be forgotten. It was an era of honor where a man’s abilities were tested on the battlefield against other men, with the last man standing the superior fighter. Shin'en always makes some pretty games.The Sengoku Era of Japanese history is one full of bloodshed, with countless warriors fighting and dying for their lords and masters. Really wish I would have grabbed this one.
It seems like it might be better to grab one of the PC versions instead which are likely more active. I do like the track sharing concept but I'm not sure how much that happens now. There's no collision between cars and the racing just looks kinda average. I see this referenced a lot and every time I look at the trailer and I'm just not sure. up to 4-player car racing, with track editor, and track sharing via online back in the day. How is the weapon variety? I really wish there was a game similar to Jet Force Gemini in terms of weapon variety and content but alas that has never really happened. Great pick! I've seen this mentioned a number of times, as far as I know it's also available in the US. licensed third person action/shooter (not sure if it was released in the US). Still this looks very cool! I picked up Samurai Warriors 3 for cheap which has a similar vibe and some exclusive Nintendo content. However, that version is like the price of a new game and well, I wasn't sure how I'd fare with the Japanese text. a Musou-style action game, though I appreciate the genre is considered quite niche by many.Īh, I really wanted this but I can't get over the fact the Japanese version has a decent amount of additional content.
