Sengoku Basara vs Devil Kings comparison
I may or may not have referenced the differences of the first basara game and then it's localized version Devil Kings. I got Sengoku Basara hd collection a few days ago and I'm happy and playing all three games. Capcom made a lot of changes to make it for localized audiences.
Similarities:
Most of the characters look the same
Still hack and slash fun
Most weapons and items have same properties as listed
Stages and it's special conditions haven't changed
Differences:
Sengoku Basara had bright colors and manga style character select screen, Devil Kings had darker hues like Devil may cry and used character models shown in game
Basara had 16 characters playable, Devil Kings had 12 and unlocking was different for each character
Items look different to try to take out japanese references from Basara
Basara is gained on any hit, Devil Kings fury (the replacement for basara) had to be gained by priming enemies and then hitting them
Devil kings had priming to weaken enemies, Basara did not
Enemies seem to hit harder and a lot more in Devil Kings than in Basara but that's more of my opinion
Again my opinion, you kill enemies slower in Devil Kings than in Basara
Rewards for Devil Kings were different in Basara. Weapons in Basara on japanese normal difficulty (which is easy difficulty in Devil Kings by the way) were possible 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th weapon and upgrade them, Devil Kings had 1st and 2nd weapon and upgrade
Some music was cut in Devil Kings and some music was cut in Basara hard to know which ones though
Devil Kings menu had a demo video to show you how to play and controls, Basara did not
The designs of the country were different, Basara was Japan and Devil Kings was a made up country/world
Devil Kings skills for characters either one became their priming move or cut a few moves for each character. Still can apply two skills per character but held down a button then either square or triangle to activate so my calculations technically you can use three skills in battle. One prime, two other. Basara also two skills per character per battle but no other skill and they can be switched by a press of a button.
This is what I witnessed in changes wise in between both of them. If there's anything I missed let me know.
