The briefing

About this game

Kessen III places you in control of Nobunaga Oda, whose single goal is to unify the lands and rid the world of misery and suffering. Unlike the previous two games, there is no side selection.

The game combines strategic planning with direct battlefield action. Select officers, position them across the battlefield, assign commands, and issue orders. Each officer—including Nobunaga—commands an army that can be controlled during battles.

Cinematic sequences support the campaign, while battles introduce features such as item collection. Leveling up grants additional special attacks to officers and their troops.
