Hitting arcades in the system's twilight years, Sengoku Densho 2001 is the Neo Geo MVS's grand farewell for the franchise, delivering a highly-polished side-scrolling brawler. Developed by SNK Playmore, it builds upon Sengoku 2's blueprint with deeper mechanics and a flashier presentation, perfectly blending fantasy Japanese history and arcade spectacle.

• Sengoku 3 / Sengoku Densho 2001 platform notes
  Sengoku 3 / Sengoku Densho 2001 is a Classic Arcade entry prepared for browser play, with platform, controls, and play context worth checking before launch. The strongest visible context is the Classic Arcade platform and its general play style. Emulator core: arcade.
• Fighting-Game Depth in a Brawler
  More than just mashing buttons, each of the four characters possesses a nuanced combo system, with directional inputs, jump cancels, and timed inputs to extend combos, rewarding dedicated practice.
• Arcade Cabinet Perfection
  It really shines best with three friends crowded around a proper 4-player arcade setup, a setup my local arcade miraculously kept. The coordinated chaos against oncoming ninjas and giant skeleton samurai is distinctive.
• Late-Era Neo Geo Mastery
  The developers clearly knew the hardware inside out. The character animations, especially Falcon's chain flips or Go's sword slashes, are fluid and detailed, pushing the limits of the aging Neo Geo in its final act.
