Overview
Kessen II is the second game in
Koei's Kessen series for the
PS2. It was released on September 26, 2001. The game is a real-time strategy title that allows the player to directly control individual units while providing orders to allies.
Plot
Kessen II is the only Kessen title not set during
Japan's Warring States era. Rather, it is set during the
Three Kingdoms era of
China, in which the nations of
Wei,
Wu, and
Shu fought for control of the whole land. The game takes characters and events from the historical novel
Romance of the Three Kingdoms and loosely adapts them into an original narrative that focuses on the conflict between
Liu Bei, ruler of Shu, and
Cao Cao, ruler of Wei, over the fate of the beautiful
Diao Chan. As in the other entries, the game's plot is presented with romantic theatricality rather than historical accuracy.
