Played with C_F. A lot better than Sengoku 1 and 2 - it has actual gameplay this time!
That said, SNK's new art production pipeline of semi-rotoscoped models with super high-frame animations means they couldn't offer the same variety in locales and enemy types the original games do, so you spend about an hour beating up on the same spearguys and undead kunoichi. Mind you, you do this while flexing a great interweaving combo system, but it's the usual hang-up of systems-focused game design over context-focused game design.
