In 2018, Two Point Hospital was released on the Nintendo Switch.
#Spiritual successor to kessen iii series#
I guess there are a lot of other areas to explore. And yet, the series managed to live on in the form of a spiritual successor, albeit 20 years on from Theme Hospital’s initial launch. I would also be open for a game based on Liu Bang, or even on Qin Shi Huangdi. I think it would be much more interesting to do one about Mori Motonari, or to step outside of the Sengoku era and do one about the Gempei War (similar to Kessen 1 meaning the player would chose between playing as the Taira or as the Minamoto). Though the spin-off Mystic heroes was released in europe (don't know if it was released in the us).Īnyway if Koei would ever do another Kessen game (though its doubful seeing how its been 11 years since the 3rd game came out), I think they should avoid making another entry based on one of the three unifiers. The first game was an SRPG and the second was more of an Action-RPG, but none of them were released outside of Japan. Koei actually did Fengshen Yanyi, not in Kessen, but in a seperate RPG series, which had two entries (the first for PS1 and the second for PS2) and a musou-like spin-off called Mystic Heroes. Even the Edo Period has a lot of potential-particularly at the earlier and later ends, when it was so bloody. Calling Graven a mere spiritual successor to the Hexen series would actually be a disservice to what developer Slipgate Ironworks has planned for their new project. Imagine a Kessen game that takes inspiration from Yoshikawa's Taiko, or Musashi. And it's not like going back and tackling the same era from a different perspective can't be awesome. Originally posted by Arsene-Lupin:Personally I'd love to see them tackle the Fengshen Yanyi.Īs for other periods for Kessen games, specifically, to tackles. (There was chaos, then there were heroes, etc etc.) They could finally, try out a Mongolian invasion of Japan, which Japan repelled by use of natural weather and ground forces. Why not go outside of the box? The Imjin Account of the Japanese invasion of Korea and the Korean hero Admiral Yi? They could also go the route of the Unification and formation of the Han, which mirrors the Three Kingdoms Account quite a bit. I guess they could also do a more faithful retelling of the Three Kingdoms story, though they've done that many times across all their titles. Or they could do the Genpei or Boshin War.they haven't touched those at all outside of Warriors Orochi and the only game I know of that has explored them in any degree of seriousness is Shogun 2. Originally posted by Arthogawa:The only problem with a Kessen 4 is that the only time period they can explore without doing a retelling of 1-3 is Hideyoshi's unification of Japan following Nobunaga's death.
