Devil Kings, known in Japan as Sengoku Basara (戦国BASARA), is a 2005 hack and slash game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2. It is the first installment in the Sengoku Basara franchise. The game's theme song for the Japanese version is "Crosswise" by T.M.Revolution. The western version featured a prologue, along with an original piece, due to license restrictions. The game was followed by several sequels and an anime series, all of them using the original title and setting of Sengoku Basara only.
