Episode 222 : Kessen (PS2)

July 9, 2025 · 1 h 18 min

Show notes

This week, we take on a patron request for another Koei strategy game, but this time it's on the PS2 and it's real time as opposed to turn-based. In the past we haven't been a fan of Koei's historically accurate strategy games, but will this one change our mind?

We also take on some of your questions, to include our thoughts on the Switch 2 post launch!

Want to jump right to the game? Charge over to the 12:30 mark.
