SAMURAI WARRIORS Spirit of Sanada Releases
Burlingame, Calif. – May 23, in the year of our Lord
2017 – KOEI TECMO America today proudly announced the
release of SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada, the latest entry
in the renowned SAMURAI WARRIORS action series now available for
the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and digitally on
Windows PC via Steam®. A historically inspired action title set
in Sengoku era Japan, SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada focuses
on the legendary Sanada Clan and their fierce will to survive.
Players will follow the heroic tale of the Sanada Clan through
fascinating, fan-favorite characters such as Yukimura Sanada,
experiencing the journey of his upbringing, motives and
struggles as he rises to the title of “The Crimson Demon of
War.”
SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada features the “one versus
thousands” gameplay style of the Warriors series with a
plenitude of new additions. For example, combat will now occur
over a longer period of time across multiple battlefields with
the inclusion of Multi-Stage Battles. Through these intense
conflicts, players will be able to experience historical events
like never before and witness situations develop first hand. On
Secondary Battlefields, players will be able to engage in
battles where the Sanada family did not play a major role, and
earn extra experience and items for participating while
witnessing key historical events from another perspective.
Furthermore, outside of combat, players can enjoy a variety of
activities at the Castle Town as it grows from a quiet and
peaceful village to bustling and prosperous city. Players can
reside there while preparing for the next battle and converse
with officers and townspeople to gain a deeper insight into
their daily lives. The fear of war and the celebration of
victory both have their own effects on the morale of the people
encountered, and some will ask for help with their troubles by
offering missions.
Players can also spend their time at the Castle Town gathering
information, enjoying mini games and completing Feats – tests of
combat that reward players with coins. When six coins are
accumulated, these Sanada Six Coins can be used on the
battlefield to trigger Stratagems – special strategies which
will alter the flow of battle. The effect of a Stratagem will
differ each time it is used, allowing for unique opportunities
to change the tide of battle, and these strategies can be
further enhanced by utilizing the newly implemented passage of
time features to one’s advantage. During the day, Officers will
appear on the battlefield more frequently and players will be
able to see the entire map and enemy locations, whereas at night
enemy placements will not be visible and Ninjas will appear to
stealthily attack their opponents.
