The ancient storied battlefield lies before you. At your command are 100,000 troops including archers, infantry, riflemen, and the powerful cavalry. Kessenis a real time strategy game that gives players strategic command and control over huge armies during epic battle sequences from the Warring States period of seventeenth century Japan.
