Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Set in the Sengoku Jidai or Warring States period of
Japan's history, Twelve Sengoku Fuushinden is a
fictional account of an Owari Tokugawa warlord named
Masanaga who uses arcane forces in a bid to conquer
Japan under one gauntlet. Under his command, a
number of highly competent generals lead his armies
against the various daimyo in a fractious Japan. At
the outset of the game, the player may choose to
play as a male warrior named Hibiki or a swordswoman
named Minori. In the first chapter, the protagonist
meets up with a princess named Tian who has escaped
from the clutches of Masanaga. She was meant to be a
sacrifice but her plight rallies the protagonist to
appropriate the unification ambitions of Masanaga
with an army of his/her own.
The game features a large amount of voice snippets when the
characters interact with each other during the story
development portions. Characters are shown side by
side with conversation text underneath which is
accompanied by speech. Background noises are also
present to add extra aural atmosphere. For example,
while in the town market, the faint chatter and
murmur of a crowd behind the characters may be
heard.
Encounters are depicted on isometric battlefields where two forces
are arrayed against each other on opposing sides.
Each unit is controlled directly where movement
range is shown on highlighted grids. The camera
may be rotated around a central axis for a
full view of the surroundings near the active
character. Once adjacent to a foe, an attack command
may be selected which is then shown in a short
animated sequence. Battles are fought on side by
side confrontations where slashes, strokes, and
kills are played out in streaming motion. Voice
action occurs during battles where yelps, groans,
shrieks, and little mutterings are uttered by both
characters. The fighting system also allows for
opportune button pressing to enhance attacks or
perform multiple sequential blows against a hapless
foe as well as defensive measures against oncoming
blows.
Twelve uses a Gunshi companion
system where skilled tacticians offer advice on
combat strategy and also affect the morale and
fighting efficacy of their troops and companions. A
Gunshi is a master of military strategy and a
capable martial arts practitioner for an all-around
warrior. Generals in the Sengoku Jidai often
deferred to a team of Gunshi for advice on advances
and retreats during the tide of war. The word Gunshi
breaks down into Gun (military) Shi (master). As the
protagonist in the game interacts with a Gunshi or
three, their association leads to stronger bonds
which in turn improves their battlefield strength.
Also known as Twelve Sengoku Fengshenden.
