Samurai Warriors is Koei's extension of the popular Dynasty Warriors series. Instead of taking place during the Three Kingdoms era in China, Samurai Warriors takes you back to feudal Japan, during the warring states era. In the game, you take control of actual historical figures such as Yukimura Sanada , Nobunaga Oda , and Hattori Hanzo . Altogether, there are fifteen characters, ten of whom need to be unlocked.
Basically, gameplay is almost identical to that of Dynasty Warriors. The main differences are things like the inclusion of indoor castle levels, and a greater variety of enemies. In Samurai Warriors , there are soldiers, archers, musketeers, and many different types of ninjas. In terms of story, there are basically only five levels, but depending on your actions in a certain level specific to each character, the story will branch off into two different stories, leading to a good ending or a not as good ending. Updated graphics and a more "techno-ish" soundtrack top off the additions.
Samurai Warriors was released for the Playstation 2 on 2000-11-24. The game is an action & adventure title, offering a fun experience for fans of the genre.

New 6th Weapons
New ultimate weapons that surpass the 5th level weapons of Samurai Warriors increase your attack power. Can you acquire new 6th weapons?
Adjust Enemy Strength
Clear hard levels more easily by adjusting the enemy's strength. The stronger you get, the more the battle is in your favor! No longer does the enemy get stronger with each rank you achieve.

Each character has a set level of abilities. By choosing "Character Level" from the "Special" menu (➡P16) you can strengthen each character beyond its normal limits. Develop your characters consistently!
New Survival Mode: Gold Rush
Survival mode contains an exciting new course: "Gold Rush." Merely defeating the enemy will not win the stage. Instead you'll have to gather as much gold as you can. This might be more difficult than you think! (P8)
Collect Gold to power up weapons and items.
New Vs. Mode Courses
Challenge three new courses in Vs. mode; "Duel," "Sumo," and "Gatekeeper." Liven up competition play with a few new rules.
New Difficulty Levels
•
Novice: Play at the Novice level to get through a level easily. Great for beginners and those who want to reach movie scenes quickly. Even though it's easier than normal, you can still acquire items.
•
Chaos: Play at the "Chaos" level for more of a challenge. More valuable items are your reward at this very difficult level of play.
You get the same EXP Points whether you're playing at the "Novice" or "Chaos" level.
REMIX: Power up the original with Xtreme Legends features
Samurai Warriors™ Xtreme Legends® expands the Samurai Warriors world. When you choose "Import" (P15) from the Fight menu, you will be able to REMIX the two titles.
