Kessen
Dubbed a
"Decisive Battle" by developer Koei (creator of the Romance of the Three
Kingdoms series), Kessen is one of the highest profile titles to launch with the
PlayStation 2. The game takes real-time strategy to a new level with its
recreation of large-scale, epic battles in feudal Japan. During clashes, the
camera can zoom-up on the individual, highly detailed soldiers or pan back to
see thousands of units sprawled across the countryside. Remaining true to Koei's
heritage of historical accuracy in their video games, Kessen's battles are
actually based on real-life situations involving famous warriors.

Kessen Hints
Hint: Battle strategies:
At the start of each campaign, go for a defensive approach.
Gather your units and await enemy movements.
Intercept advancing enemy units with long-range attacks (canonade/ballista).
Attack enemy units with several units, using special-attacks first.
Keep it going until the enemy unit is destroyed. Do not let routed units escape as they will reform. More importantly, when annihilating an enemy unit, your army's zeal will rise, allowing for more special attacks.
Use "rally" to raise the zeal of your units when in battle, preferably on units with long-range special attacks.
Check your unit's status regularly, and retreat immediately if your unit is losing a battle.
Try to limit the number of engagements, as to have a better chance of controlling the events on the battlefield. Press L2 to call up a map of the entire battlefield.
Only at the very end (two or three enemy units remaining ) should you call for an army attack, keeping the units with long-range attacks at some distance.
