Two famous swordsmen from the Sengoku and Edo periods - Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro - take part in the mighty battle at Sekigahara circa September 15, 1600. A bit of historical background - after Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in 1998, a power struggle ensued between the Shiga and Gifu prefectures and war broke out. According to legend, Sasaki Kojiro challenged Musashi at Ganryu island in 1612. Since Kojiro's sword had a lengthier reach, Musashi battled using an oar from his boat and killed Kojiro. The Gassen Sekigahara game plays very much like a Dynasty Warriors clone where legions of troops are battled in vast environments. Sekigahara uses a Tates-like system where enemies may be attacked in fluid sequence. A total of seven levels await the gamer for some fairly exciting fun. View the back cover and screenshots.
