Kessen II - Livestream VOD | Playthrough/Let's Play | Cam & Commentary | P2
3This video is the second Livestream VOD of our playthrough of Kessen II!
Kessen II is a strategy game loosely based on the Three Kingdoms period of China. It is the sequel to Kessen in name only; both Kessen and the later sequel Kessen III are based on events in Japan and China. The gameplay involves playing out major battles as the storyline progresses, with cutscenes between each battle for the development of the events and major characters. This is a game I played a bunch during my childhood and wanted to share it with the gang. It’s cheesy but I love it.

We are playing on the PCSX. Gameplay streamed to Twitch via OBS studio.
Before each battle in Kessen, players are given a choice of strategies to take, although they can manually control all units in the battlefield. All units are controlled by the AI unless the player directly intervenes, and battles between forces are carried out in real-time. While in control of a unit, players are able to use special skills or magic spells to turn the tables, although enemy characters are also able to do so. Unlike Koei's other games based on the 14th century novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Dynasty Warriors and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game), the plot of Kessen II is a heavily fantasized version of the novel. The last of the Han dynasty family, Liu Bei, begins a rebellion against the kingdom of Wei led by Cao Cao, with much of the game's events being based on the novel with alterations due to the different storylines.
A significant change to the story involves a romance between Liu Bei and the character Diao Chan, being a significant factor behind Liu Bei's decision to go to war, and Himiko, a semi-fictional sorceress. In addition to the fantasized theme, Kessen II departs from its realistic predecessor. Koei introduces elements of magic, especially with the portrayal of notable strategists such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi as sorcerers. In battle, these characters are able to cause earthquakes, summon lightning storms and hurl fireballs.
We do a lot of random, conversational tangents and spontaneous moments in which I stop playing in order to chat to the stream. I know that this breaks up the consistency of the play through and can be irritating for viewers that are watching purely for the gameplay. We are pretty new to the whole streaming thing and I'm currently trying to get better at it as we go. Know that I want to bring y'all the best quality that I possibly can and I'm aiming to improve with every stream we do.
Finally, a big thanks to everyone who came to hang out during and who subbed or donated during the livestream itself. You guys are the best, so thank you. I hope y'all enjoy the stream!
