Sengoku Basara
ayers lead their chosen hero to victory against all comers, in this Dynasty Warriors-styled game of medieval combat. Characters are based on the heroes and villains of ancient mythologies, and the fast-paced battles are full of explosive special moves and colorful magical effects. The game is set on a fantastical continent, broken into 15 smaller fiefdoms, and the ultimate goal is to unite the land under the rule of the player's chosen hero. As they progress through the adventure, individual heroes become more powerful and gain new special moves. With each victory over the continent, new playable characters can be unlocked. The story takes place as the Devil King, a king possessed by the soul of the Devil, has unleashed an unholy army on the world to bend it to his will as the player must stop him along with many of his minions including his wife Lady Butterfly, his general the Red Minotaur, as well as loyal assassins Scorpio and Venus. The gameplay is more arcade hack-and-slash style, with the ability of using magic spells to wipe out entire waves of enemies and as mentioned before, the ability to use modern day weapons along with historical weapons such as spears, swords among others. There are six playable characters to use as well, each with their own story told in CG and anime cutscenes as well as two modes of play, Conquest (the main story of the game) and Free Mode (where players can play in any unlocked stage they have completed).
