I can honestly say that some moments made me laugh out loud while others made it difficult to fight back tears.RetroArch 1.11.1 has just been released. There are some very emotional, dark storylines here too, but there are also quite a few lighthearted events to keep things from getting too depressing. Speaking of the stories, I feel that the game succeeds in providing a better variety this time compared to the overwhelming drama of Sengoku Basara 3. I can highly recommend Moemine’s candid story summaries if you want to get more out of the game without knowing Japanese, and there’s another collection of translations in this thread over at Koei Warriors. Need to import, but it can play just fine on your non-Japanese PS3.Ī number of multilingual English-speakers have been steadily chipping away at the language barrier over the last few months to help their fellow fans. This is where two-player mode makes things harder as concentrating on the gameplay, my partner’s reactions and the mid-battle conversations between the warriors can be challenging (on the other hand, it gives the game a lot of replay value as I can go back later and catch up on anything I missed the first time).

A few of the early complaints were that the game has no story at all, which isn’t really fair – it’s there, it’s just they’ve blended it in with the game’s progression instead of relying on dramatic cutscenes. It’s a great shame that there’s no English language version of the game since the shift in the presentation of the story from cutscenes to audio drama is likely to be disappointing to gamers who don’t understand Japanese. “You don’t need to translate Kingo at all,” he said, “I can understand everything he says just fine.”) Accept the Past Remastered (Sometimes I ask him what he thinks they’re talking about first – the Japanese voice acting is so good that the emotions generally come across perfectly so long as they aren’t talking about something specific. I usually translate the character interactions for my partner as we play so that he knows what’s going on and it’s very interesting to watch his reactions. To make the audio experience complete the game’s voice acting is flawless, as can be expected from a seiyuu cast of this quality.

Full voice overs and Kanji galore for those who enjoy that. Of the older songs, my very favourite is probably Hanbee’s updated theme song. Standout tracks include stage themes like Battle of Sekigahara: Eastern Sun and the new character themes for Sakon, Matabee, Shikanosuke and Maria.

It’s difficult to pick a favourite piece. Yoshiteru’s regal presence has given the staff an excuse to incorporate a wealth of sweeping melodies to set the atmosphere from the very moment the player selects Sengoku Creation mode from the menu. When it comes to the background music the game contains the usual assortment of new themes and familiar classics. The rousing lyrics are a pleasant way to end a campaign. T.M.Revolution’s opening song Count ZERO was an instant classic from the moment I first heard it in the trailers, but SCANDAL’s upbeat closing song Runner’s high has also grown on me after hearing it play over the credit sequence. To complement the appealing visuals, the team at Capcom have done some great work with the soundtrack. The graphics are great for this type of game and presumably the move to a more advanced version of the MT Framework engine than before made it easier for YamamotoD and his team to implement their ideas.

Sengoku Basara 4 Fun game with lots of unique characters.

Whether you consider this a good decision will probably depend on whether you had a PS3 or not – it’s my preferred platform so I was one of the lucky ones. One of the biggest changes in Sengoku Basara 4 is that it dropped all support for the Wii, allowing the creators to push the PlayStation 3’s limits further.

In that respect my opinions on some gameplay decisions might be unusual since two-player mode makes some parts of the game much easier, and others rather more challenging. One other thing that I should mention is that I mostly play in two-player co-op mode for the first few months of a Sengoku Basara game release my partner’s interest tends to wane more quickly than mine and it’s fun to experience the new stories together for the first time.
