《戰國BASARA 3》（日文名《戦国BASARA 3》、英文名《Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes》）是由CAPCOM開發並發行的戰國動作遊戲，於2010年在日本Wii與PlayStation 3平台同步推出。《戰國BASARA》系列的第三部正傳作品，同時也是該系列首次在Wii平台登場。作為風格豪快誇張、充滿日式武將浪漫與誇張必殺技的無雙型動作遊戲，成功將歷史題材與動漫式英雄風格融合，吸引不少動作與歷史愛好者。

劇情設定在日本戰國時代末期，主軸圍繞在「關原之戰」前後的局勢變化。隨著「第六天魔王」織田信長的滅亡，各方勢力蠢蠢欲動，新一代霸主即將誕生。來自不同勢力的武將，如德川家康、石田三成、伊達政宗、真田幸村、前田慶次、毛利元就等人，參與這場左右天下命運的戰爭。故事採多線敘事設計，每位角色擁有獨立的劇情路線，描寫他們在關原戰役與其他戰事中的選擇與命運。德川家康一方面主張「以和為本」，而石田三成則誓言為已逝的豐臣秀吉復仇，兩人之間的理念衝突與恩怨成為本作的核心衝突。不同角色之間的立場對立與感情糾葛，使得戰國局勢更加混沌，也增添了劇情的戲劇性與情感張力。

操作方面，採用無雙型動作玩法，操作單一武將，面對成群結隊的敵軍。使用方式在Wii版本上支援Wii遙控器+Nunchuk、Classic Controller Pro與GameCube手把，可依個人喜好選擇手感。基本操作包括普通攻擊、特殊技、跳躍、閃避、以及最具代表性的「BASARA技」。透過連打攻擊積蓄能量條，當能量滿時可發動威力驚人的必殺技，大範圍橫掃敵軍。除基本攻擊組合之外，還能習得不同的特殊技能組合，隨時切換以因應戰場局勢。角色間的操作手感差異極大，有如伊達政宗雙刀流連斬、石田三成的狂速劍技、家康徒手武術式連擊等，動作風格誇張豪放，打擊感十足。

戰場採多路線結構，可自由選擇攻略順序，不同的路線與選擇會影響結局與支線劇情，部分劇情甚至會根據玩家在戰鬥中的表現觸發特殊事件。場景設計也富含日式戰國風情，例如安土城、大阪城、佐和山城、川中島古戰場等，並加入大量爆破、巨型兵器與誇張機關，讓戰鬥過程充滿娛樂性與視覺衝擊。

在市場評價方面，《戰國BASARA 3》Wii版本在日本本土的表現相當穩定，雖然PS3版因畫面表現更佳而成為主力，但Wii版本因支援多種操作方式與輕鬆上手的玩法，受到輕度與家庭玩家的喜愛。許多玩家與評論認為，延續系列一貫豪快、誇張的風格，劇情氣勢磅礡、角色個性鮮明，戰鬥爽快度極高。特別是德川家康與石田三成這對新世代主角的理念衝突，以及角色演出更勝前作，成為本作最大賣點。

然而，也有部分意見指出，Wii版畫面相較PS3版稍微粗糙，特效與人物細節略顯簡化，加上Wii遙控器操作在部分高難度關卡中不如傳統手把靈活，對硬派動作玩家而言略有影響。此外，雖然劇情多線豐富，但重複攻略同樣戰場的情況依然存在，遊戲節奏也偏向爽快速破型，缺乏細緻戰略性。

整體而言，這是充滿日式誇張英雄風格與歷史幻想劇情的爽快型無雙動作遊戲。憑藉豪邁戰鬥、爽快打擊感、個性角色以及關原之戰為舞台的宏大劇情，成為戰國題材動作遊戲中別具風格的代表作。雖然在畫面與操控上略遜主機版，但對喜歡熱血戰國、英雄浪漫、爽快割草戰鬥的玩家來說，依然是Wii平台上值得收藏的一款動作遊戲佳作。

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes (Japanese title: 戦国BASARA 3) is a historical action game developed and published by CAPCOM, released simultaneously for the Wii and PlayStation 3 in Japan in 2010. It is the third main installment in the Sengoku Basara series and marks the franchise’s debut on the Wii platform. Known for its over-the-top action, dramatic flair, and anime-inspired samurai heroism, the series blends Japanese historical themes with flamboyant, exaggerated special moves, appealing to both action game fans and history buffs alike.

The story is set during the late Sengoku period, focusing on the turbulent events surrounding the famous Battle of Sekigahara. With the fall of the "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven," Oda Nobunaga, a power vacuum emerges, and various warlords begin vying for supremacy. Iconic figures such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, Ishida Mitsunari, Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura, Maeda Keiji, and Mōri Motonari take part in this conflict that will determine the fate of Japan. The game features a multi-narrative structure, with each character having their own unique story arc, detailing their decisions, struggles, and outcomes during and around the Sekigahara conflict. At the heart of the game lies the ideological clash between Tokugawa Ieyasu, who promotes peace and unity, and Ishida Mitsunari, who seeks vengeance for the fallen Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This rivalry fuels the game’s emotional and narrative tension, with intersecting loyalties and conflicting ideals adding drama and depth to the larger political struggle.

Gameplay follows the musou-style formula, where players control a single warrior to fight off hordes of enemies. The Wii version supports various control schemes including the Wii Remote + Nunchuk, Classic Controller Pro, and the GameCube controller, offering flexibility based on player preference. Basic controls include standard attacks, special skills, jumps, evasive maneuvers, and the franchise’s signature “BASARA Attack”—a powerful ultimate move that sweeps across a wide area once the energy gauge is filled through continuous combos. Each character has distinct combat mechanics and animations: Date Masamune uses dual swords in a flurry of slashes, Ishida Mitsunari delivers lightning-fast blade strikes, and Ieyasu fights with barehanded martial arts-inspired combos. The exaggerated and high-impact animation gives every battle a bombastic, satisfying feel.

The battlefield structure is nonlinear, allowing players to choose the order in which they tackle missions. Different routes and choices affect not only the endings but also side stories and unlockable content. In some cases, special scenes or outcomes can be triggered based on in-battle performance. Maps are infused with dramatic Sengoku-era flair—such as Azuchi Castle, Osaka Castle, Sawayama Castle, and the Kawanakajima battlefield—featuring explosive set pieces, giant mechanical weapons, and exaggerated traps, which add a layer of spectacle and excitement to the gameplay.

In terms of reception, the Wii version of Sengoku Basara 3 performed steadily in the Japanese market. While the PlayStation 3 version was the more dominant platform due to superior graphics and performance, the Wii version found an audience thanks to its accessible control options and pick-up-and-play appeal, particularly among casual and family gamers. Players and reviewers praised the continuation of the series’ bombastic style, epic narrative, and vivid character personalities. The ideological rivalry between Ieyasu and Mitsunari, in particular, stood out as the emotional and thematic centerpiece of the game, with enhanced character acting and storytelling surpassing previous entries.

That said, the Wii version did draw some criticism. The visuals, while functional, were noticeably less refined than the PS3 version—lacking in detail and visual effects. Some players also found the motion control setup less precise in high-difficulty missions compared to traditional controllers. Furthermore, despite the multiple storylines, there was some repetition in stage design, and the game’s emphasis on fast-paced combat over deep tactical elements may not appeal to fans of more strategic gameplay.

All in all, Sengoku Basara 3 is a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping action game infused with Japanese historical fantasy and over-the-top heroism. With its bold combat mechanics, visually engaging battles, charismatic cast, and a dramatic retelling of the Sekigahara conflict, it stands out as a uniquely stylized take on the Sengoku era. While the Wii version may fall short in technical polish compared to its PS3 counterpart, it remains a worthy and enjoyable addition to any action fan’s collection—especially for those drawn to samurai drama, larger-than-life characters, and stylish hack-and-slash combat.
