Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes

There are more than a dozen leaders to choose from, each with their own unique weapon and battle style. Each character also features their own story in Heroes' Story mode with multiple paths based on which locations the player chooses to conquer. Victory in battle will not only advance the story but will also level the character using the experience earned during the battle plus bonus experience for special requirements or secrets discovered on the battlefield. Higher levels provide better stats and unlock new abilities, as well as access to new weapons, items, accessories, allies, and resources.

There is also a Quick Battle mode that allows players to re-play any of the battlefields already encountered. The selectable characters and items discovered are universal and work off one another. So any items or levels gained in one mode transfer over to the other seamlessly. Both modes support two-player split-screen action.
