Description
Set after the collapse of Japan’s Ashikaga Shogunate, SAMURAI WARRIORS 2 chronicles the civil wars that consumed feudal Japan and the events that lead to the country’s unification. In the game, players choose the role of one of 26 samurai and ninja including the legendary Musashi Miyamoto, Ieyasu Tokugawa the unifier of Japan, and the enigmatic ninja Kotaro Fuma. As a leader on the battlefield, players must face off against legions of enemy soldiers and complete missions critical to victory. The sequel to 2004’s Samurai Warriors takes players on a powerful journey through all new tales in Story, Free, and Survival modes. The new game seamlessly blends castle warfare with field combat. Now players can move in and out of castles on the battlefield to complete missions and gain a significant morale advantage. Once forbidden techniques for each warrior are also newly revealed. Gamers can set traps, summon horses, or manifest ninja decoys. Powerful attacks and the first-ever Triple Musou gauge also give the players unprecedented might. Throughout the game, players will unlock over 70 bold cinematic visions of Japan's Samurai history. Gamers can also team up with friends for 2-player Co- op play or challenge them at Sugoroku, a bonus party game for up to 4 players.
