Apparently this isn’t exactly how things transpired in literal history, but this is still a video game so who gives a crap? This story is only one of several interweaving stories between the various factions and characters and it all has the propensity to be incredibly confusing. Mitsunari then alleged to gaining vengeance and seeking out Ieyasu and so on and so forth. Ieyasu subsequently killed Toyotomi in an effort to unite the states and stop all the fighting by…fighting. Basically, Mitsunari Ishida was the servant of a powerful general known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. From what I can tell, the “main characters,” should you be able to identify them, are Mitsunari Ishida and Ieyasu Tokugawa. They’re the purple and yellow guys on the games case. That being said, it is very interesting to think that the majority of this stuff is based on actual history and you may find yourself spending several hours on Wikipedia learning about it. The biggest problem, like I said in the beginning, is that this is one of only two games in the series to have ever been released in North America, so how could they have expected us to know anything about the characters’ history? It isn’t too upsetting though. Games like this always have a terrible time conveying story to the players because there are always so many different characters and they often refuse to focus on just one specific character or set of characters or events. The story is a little bit of a mess and from the very beginning implies that the player have some previous knowledge of the series or its lore. To be truthful though, I’ve played just about all of those and I fail to remember the historical figures ever being represented in such trendy or stylish ways. The recollection is a little loose in some spots and isn’t to intriguing if you’ve played games such as Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors before.
You are placed smack in the middle of the Warring States period of Japanese history. Moving on, the game is awesome and has an interesting premise. I spent a good amount of time there and even collected some of the best swag: a Sengoku Basara flag and matching t-shirt. Recently at the New York City ComicCon, Capcom was among the most relevant of game spaces on the show floor. The Sengoku Basara booth maintained a considerable line, which was clearly because the combat was so stylish and appealing.
I’m sure you recall how pleased I was with the demo in the game’s impression. Being a big fan of games like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden, this wasn’t surprising.
