Survive historical battles such as the Battle of Okehazama, the Battle of Kawanakajima, the clashes at Azuchi Castle and at Odawara Castle and decide your own fate. Each scenario has multiple endings, adapted to the character chosen. History will be re-written with each decision the player makes. With a multitude of weapons for each character, the player will be throwing stars (Shuriken), using sickle chains (Kusarigama), slashing with Ninja knifes (Kunai) and hacking with Samurai swords as you make your way through vast battlefields. Each individual character within Samurai Warriors has their own unique move and attack modes, as has the varied enemies that the player will need to overcome. Be on guard, as the player will come under attack from ‘musket squads’ and waves of ninja.
