The Sengoku Boom is basically a time period that sparked a renewed interest in the history of Japan (mostly the Sengoku period of feudal Japan, hence the name) where people in Japan go to museums, castles, and battlefields to learn about their favorite Sengoku BASARA character(s) real life history, buy merchandise related to the game series and the Sengoku period, and buy video games involving the Sengoku period (mostly Sengoku BASARA). The game marks the series' first anniversary and is also considered to have started the 'Sengoku Boom' throughout Japan, which is still happening even today. An expansion titled, Sengoku BASARA 2 Heroes, was released in 2007. Sengoku BASARA 2 is a sequel to the original Sengoku BASARA, released for the PS2, only in Japan, on July of 2006. It was never used again due to the negative response the localization received from fans, critics, and consumers. Devil Kings, an English-language version of the game, featured altered gameplay and a completely different, supposedly more western audience-oriented fantasy story with original characters. The original game in the series was released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 (PS2) as a hack and slash, action game. As of September 30, 2018, the game series has sold 4 million units worldwide.
