Strategies on consoles have never been well accepted. However, Kessen was once a modern and groundbreaking product. Although he is a strategy, he has set a new path that will follow more than one game.

Kessen Description
The foreboding and acrid smoke of war flows across a field where a gentle morning mist settled just hours before, and the peace of dawn is broken. Thousands upon thousands of troops face each other, as warriors have done for millennia, before the flight of arrows and barrage of rifle fire signal the start of the Kessen, or strategic battle
Assume the role of a seventeenth century Japanese Warlord with tens of thousands of troops at your disposal. Infantry, archers, riflemen and a feared cavalry are at your command as you engage rival states in epic and legendary conflicts across richly detailed environments. What is more, Kessen introduces Agent Technology, a new capability that increases the realism of individual behaviour in the context of group action immensely, adding to the incredible detail of the game.
Kessen is a 3D real-time strategy game that gives you absolute control over the armies you command, allowing interaction with a huge number of characters on screen at any one time. Plan strategies and issue your orders depending on how battles unfold, and note how your officers' personalities evolve as situations change and they become battle hardened veterans. The fate of your men, territory and home is up to your competence as both a leader and soldier - make your decisions wisely.
