Set during Japan’s warring states period, the story follows the lives of Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi. Players take control of samurai officers as their paths unfold across battles and story chapters.
Fight large enemy forces with fast melee combos, special attacks, and other techniques. Players can lock onto targets and switch between officers, while each battle sets objectives to complete on the battlefield.
Story Mode is joined by Free Mode for replaying cleared chapters and Citadel Mode, where players defend a base in short battles. Materials gathered in Citadel Mode can be used for castle upgrades, alongside character leveling and weapon development.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its ink-wash-inspired art and fast, flashy combat, especially the satisfying rush of cutting through crowds of enemies. Some also appreciate the focused Nobunaga and Mitsuhide story and the music. Recurring criticisms include the smaller roster, shared weapon movesets, limited story scope, and grinding tied to Citadel Mode.
