Kessen II's storyline is more robust than the original game's, so Kessen II is heavily driven by its plot, using both real-time and prerendered cutscenes. However, once Liu Bei engages Cao Cao's troops, he soon realizes that there is a much broader goal at hand, as he must secure the mandate of the heavens and save China from Cao Cao's tyranny. The primary story of Kessen II is about lost love, as the game's lead protagonist Liu Bei wages a seemingly desperate battle against a vicious warlord of the Wei Kingdom, Cao Cao, in a quest to rescue a woman named Diao Chan. The result is a game that is visually striking, with massive spell effects and a histrionic storyline, but one that may not appeal to fans of realistic war simulations. While Kessen was set in the Samurai era in Japan and based on a realistic premise, Kessen II centers on the Chinese Romance of the Three Kingdoms epic and is rooted more firmly in a fantasy setting. In Kessen II, Koei takes yet another step toward achieving more general appeal for its historical strategy games. But the original Kessen for the PlayStation 2 was a giant step forward for the company, as it moved Koei's historical simulations into the real-time 3D world and appealed to a broader audience.
REDDIT KESSEN II SERIES
For years, the historical strategy genre has been Koei's bread and butter, but over time, the appeal of classic series such as Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms became limited to a niche audience.
