Screens and Info for Samurai Warriors 2 (X360)

Explore the Sengoku or ‘warring states’ period of Japanese history once again in the sequel to the popular Koei title, Samurai Warriors, for the Xbox 360. Samurai Warriors 2 takes place in the eruption of a series of wars at the collapse of the political power of the Ashikaga Shogunate after the succession dispute of 1467. Like the first title, this game will still take players in control of elite band of samurai and ninja leader Sanada Yukimura.

Samurai Warriors 2 for the Xbox 360 is still anime-infused and will still include the same Samurai Warriors-brand of beat-’em-up style. Choosing your own character, you will have to run around the ancient Japanese environment to kill enemies and capture bases and castles.

Although not much has changed with regards to the game’s setting and gameplay, Samurai Warriors fans can expect a few new things. There will be ten new playable warriors – legendary Musashi Miyamoto, Japan-unifier Ieyasu Tokugawa, and enigmatic ninja Kotaro Fuuma included – in the array of 26 playable characters. New fighting techniques are also in the works: ability to summon ninja decoys plus use of up to three different musou gauges for special attacks. Aside from previously existing modes, new modes such as Story, Free, and Survival modes are also included.

The latest Samurai Warriors also promises to have a cinematic effect, with The Princess Blade director Shinsuke Sato supervising the over 70 sequences that can be seen in the game. New music from fusion artist Minoru Mukaiya also contributes to this game’s picturesque world.

Samurai Warriors 2 is expected to slash its way to the Xbox 360 this coming September. Meanwhile, enjoy the screens from the said game.
