Ten years after the lone swordsman, Samanosuke, rose up against an army of demon warriors, Nobunaga's evil campaign continues to wreak havoc across feudal Japan. A young warrior, Jubei, returns home to find his remote and once vibrant village in ruins, destroyed by Nobunaga's minions. With vengeance in his heart, Jubei launches upon an epic and magical quest, which will reveal his ultimate destiny.
Like Samanoske before him, Jubei can absorb the souls of defeated monsters to strengthen his weapons and armor. Monsters can be defeated either by attacking them until their health is depleted, or by striking them at the very instant before they hit Jubei. This will make Jubei preform an Issen attack which destroys in a single blow. Jubei can find or buy treasures in the first half of the game, and give these to companions he meets, befriending them. Based on who Jubei befriends the events of the game will change.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This action-adventure game, set in feudal Japan, follows a warrior named Jubei on a quest for vengeance against the resurrected Demon King Nobunaga. Players will battle demons, overcome traps, and gather allies to ultimately defeat the tyrannical ruler and his army.
Story
Demon King
In Eiroku 3 (AD 1560), the warlord Nobunaga Oda defeated his rival Yoshimoto Imagawa in Okehazama. At the moment of supreme victory, Nobunaga was felled by a random arrow shot by one of Imagawa's bowmen.
Against all reason, his demise did not mark the end of Nobunaga's fate. The evil he had wrought while on earth had attracted the notice of the demon legions. Soon after his death, he was resurrected by the power of demons residing deep within the netherworld.
With Nobunaga as their leader, demons began stalking the earth and assaulting human beings. A young samurai named Samanosuke came to the fore. After numerous perilous battles he finally defeated the King of Demons.
Yet the nightmare, like Nobunaga himself, would not die. Nobunaga has ascended the demon throne. As King of Demons, he has vowed to achieve his ancient ambition of forcing all Japan under his oppressive rule.
It is now several years later. A young warrior, Jubei, returns home to his remote and once vibrant village, now in ruins, destroyed by Nobunaga's minions.
With vengeance in his heart, Jubei launches upon an epic and magical quest, which will reveal his ultimate destiny. Along the way, he must earn the respect of confidants to help him battle Nobunaga's army of demons, overcome an onslaught of traps and defeat the King of Demons.
