* HistoricalRelationshipOverhaul: While the story also takes numerous liberties with the source material, one insane twist is the reveal that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are somehow brothers. [[note]]Historically, Cao Cao was born as part of a prominent noble family, while Liu Bei was born to a completely unordinary family that claimed descent from the imperial line. In addition, they were both born in completely different parts of China.[[/note]]

''Kessen II (決戦 II, Kessen Tsu)'' is a strategy game produced by Koei (Creators of the DynastyWarriors and SamuraiWarriors series). It is the sequel to Kessen InNameOnly as both Kessen and the later sequel Kessen III are based on events in Japan, while this installment is a story loosely-based on RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms.
In addition to the fantasized theme, Kessen II departs from its realistic predecessor as it introduces elements of magic, especially with the portrayal of notable strategists such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi as sorcerers. In battle, these characters are able to cause earthquakes, summon lightning storms and hurl fireballs.
The gameplay involves playing out major battles as the storyline progresses, with cutscenes between each battle to provide development to the events and major characters. Before battle, players can choose which strategy to take, although they can manually control all units in the battlefield. All units are controlled by the AI unless the player directly intervenes, and battles between forces are carried out in real time. While in control of a unit, players are able to use special skills or magic spells to turn the tables as well as enemy characters.
