3D Fighting Out Now (Japan) |
| During the PS Expo (Nov 1st-4th) in Japan, this
game has caught every fighting fan's attention. Similar to Squaresoft, Koei is changing
its direction by making different genres of games. (Koei is famous with its wide range of
historical strategy/simulation games, such as Romance of 3 Kingdoms, Aerobiz and
PTO..etc.) Its first attempt is using the famous Chinese legend, Romance of 3 Kingdoms as
the setting of Sangoku Musou (Sangoku = 3 Kingdoms, Musou in Chinese means no two things
can be exact same, or the highest and the best).
There are over 10 characters for selection, such as Ka Nu, Rikuson, Choun, Cho Hi, Sho Yu, Taishiji, Kakoton, Kyo Cho, Soso, and Cho Sen. All characters are equipped with a wide range of weapons.
The gameplay is similar to Soul Edge, like it uses the same type of lightning effect when slashing with the weapon. The speed of this game is expected to be more faster than Soul Edge. Its new blocking system is complicated that it may take some time to get used to. The background/landscape is designed beautifully with Chinese traditional look. Finally, this game runs at 60 frames per second to deliver fluid character animation.
