Kessen II (決戦II) is a strategy game based on a highly romanticized Three Kingdoms era. Like the previous title, the producer wanted to make an interactive film that the players could enjoy from several different angles. He particularly strove for an "original historical fantasy" as most of the events in the game do not follow the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel. This move was met with mixed impressions as most fans were expecting the quasi-historical approach that the first title took. According to the game's development blog, the main theme of the story is "love and battle".

To distinguish itself from its predecessor, certain characters were voiced and modeled after idols or media icons in Japan. The most well known figure for audiences outside the country would probably be Hinako Saeki. The game adds a contemporary touch and is less archaic than the first game. Serving as narrator of the Japanese dub is Mizuho Suzuki, a former native of Manchukuo.

The following is taken from the game's prologue:

"All things are Yin or Yang, created from two essences. The world of man is ruled by the Mandate of Heaven's Will. When the Mandate is absent, kingdoms collapse and a turbulent age begins. Calming this disharmony is the mission of the one who is chosen by the Mandate. The sun is setting on the Han Empire, which has reveled for 400 years of prosperity. Throughout the land, catastrophes abound, rebellions multiply; the divine rule falls. Thus begins the turbulent age of rival warlords. The child emperor, lacking both the power and the experience to manage royal affairs, entrusts the Imperial seal, the symbol of the Mandate, to one woman. Fate now calls forth a new hero..."

Shu

While fighting to defend his home, Liu Bei is saved by Cao Cao's timely reinforcements. On whim during their victory banquet, the two generals have their fortunes read by a prophet named Himiko. Diao Chan, Liu Bei's lover, was also asked to attend. His oracle read, "Heaven is beyond grasp. The woman of destiny brings ruin." Months later, Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei at the capital to kidnap Diao Chan. Barely escaping with his life and only having a handful of loyal men by his side, Liu Bei declares war to save his beloved.

Wei

Losing his mother from childhood, the once gentle Cao Cao forged himself to be a cruel tyrant bent on world conquest. Though enemy troops may surrender to him, he refuses to allow them mercy. He meets Liu Bei's army on the battlefield and they share a shaky alliance. Himiko foretold his fortune as "The Mandate of Heaven is with you. The woman of destiny will change your fate. There is no other way." Knowing the true message behind his oracle, Cao Cao kidnaps Diao Chan months later to learn the Imperial Seal's location.

Players begin the game on Easy with Liu Bei's story. Directly following Shu's ending, Cao Cao becomes the main hero on Normal difficulty. Once both stories are cleared, the player can choose to replay either scenario on a harder setting. Each story has a time when it experiences a three way split simultaneously, asking the player to choose one to follow. It happens twice in Shu and once in Wei's scenario. Though the results of the battles generally remain the same, extra characters or troops can be unlocked based on the path the player chooses.

If either scenario is finished on Hard, a bonus battle will be unlocked after the last stage and the accompanying cinematics are basically the game's epilogue. Additionally, losing the last story battle depicts the "bad ending" of the game.
