Why isn't there a separate entry for the original Japanese release? Devil Kings is basically an entirely different game, what the hell lmao

Sengoku Basara 3 was the first Musou game I played back on the Wii, and for a long time it remained as the only game in the genre I ever touched when I felt a craving for it.

Now, these games aren't very complex. I may not have played many of them, but my brother was super into Musou and from what I remember when I watched him play, they all boil down to cutting down shit for 10 hours until you get bored. But hey, sometimes that's just what you need, and considering how things have been rough irl for some time, I figured it was time to play some Basara again. Only this time, I plan on expanding my horizons by checking out earlier/later games in the series, as well as other games in the genre.

Simple and addicting combat, a varied selection of characters and skills as well as a surprisingly fun soundtrack made for a pretty good time, not to mention some pretty entertaining cutscenes and Norio Wakamoto as Nobunaga. Honestly, a very solid first entry.
