Shin Sangoku Musou 3

The sheer number of soldiers on screen at once still blows my mind—it genuinely feels like you're commanding a real army, not just hacking through a crowd. The pincer movement planning is deep enough that I found myself rethinking formations between battles, which I didn't expect from a PS2 title.

Spent an entire weekend plotting pincer movements across the maps, and the strategic depth here is genuinely addictive. The sheer number of officers and the way formations actually matter kept me coming back for just one more battle.

The sheer number of soldiers charging on screen at once really sells the chaos of a historical battle. I’ve spent hours just planning pincer movements, and the strategic depth is far more rewarding than I expected from a PS2 game.
