Devil Kings on PS2

[Deean]

What's your opinion on Devil Kings a.k.a the westernized Sengoku Basara game?
i think the gameplay was decent,but as someone who grew up with the Japanese version of these game, the character and setting just turn me off..

Me too. Can’t stand this game especially as a fan of the Sengoku era. All the name changes are silly. Basara heroes 2 is way better.

Is it me or, did they co-op the devil may cry logo to make this name change?

Same here it feels weird, since I already knew some of the characters due to Samurai Warriors, it felt unnecessary, I prefer to play the Japanese version.

Maybe, the font is similar

That bothered me too.

That bothered me too.

Actually they did because they tried to capitalize the success of DMC that’s why they changed the title to Devil Kings even borrowed the logo style.

PC ports when?

played it on my childhood before knowing what sengoku basara was so i'm really fond of that game

Well, Capcom did what could to make the game marketeanle in the west. I'd still rather they kept things proper but it couldn't be helped.

That said, I believe some playable characters were cut, and that's terrible.

Capcom really butchered the Sengoku Basara license in the West. The first game's identity was completely erased, the second wasn't localized, the third was a sort of "bad timing" situation... and the fourth and best one stayed in Japan again. With how popular musou games are now, it could've been huge for Capcom eventually, especially with how fun the characters are. I think the series would thrive on the Switch.

Devils king is a good contender for top ten worst Capcom games for sure.

one of Capcom's earliest L's they had with this and it makes no sense why this was done when shit like Onimusha was perfectly fine previously, very stupid and dumb changes they did to it and for what reason?!
