LOCR Producer: We love beat ’em ups here at the LOCR, and we really wanted to do something special for Sengoku on the Neo Geo CD. Developed by SNK not long after Burning Fight, Sengoku has a special charm compared to its rival beat ’em ups of the era. SNK and the Neo Geo weren’t really well known for their ground-breaking beat ’em ups, and Sengoku won’t change your mind on that.
In the end, we decided to tackle both Sengoku 1 and 2 together, just because both games are incredibly similar and exist in the same universe. There was a Sengoku 3 for the Neo Geo AES and MVS, as well as a more recent PC port, but this game was developed by an entirely separate team, Noise Factory, and released in 2001, a decade after both Sengoku and Sengoku 2.
