SAMURAI WARRIORS Spirit of Sanada Castle Town Features
Burlingame, Calif. – March 14, in the year of our
Lord 2017 – KOEI TECMO America detailed today the
expansive new Castle Town facilities, exciting mini games, and
fascinating personalities of the legendary Sanada Clan in the
upcoming historically-inspired action title set in Sengoku Era
Japan, SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada. The game is slated to
release on May 23, 2017 for the PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system and digitally on PC via Steam®.
In SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada, players will witness life
in a Castle Town as it grows from a quiet and peaceful village
to bustling and prosperous city. Players can reside there during
missions and prepare for the next battle as well as talk to the
officers and townspeople to gain a deeper insight into their
daily lives. The fear of war and the celebration of victory both
have their own effects on the morale of the people encountered,
and some will ask for help with their troubles by offering
missions.
The Castle Town expands throughout the course of the story,
granting a greater array of facilities for players to utilize.
The Blacksmith can improve and upgrade weapons to grant an
upper-hand in combat, Stables allow for horses to be purchased
and prepared for the next mission, Shops sell rare and unique
items which will replenish an officer’s energy, and the Dojo
provides a training ground where one can learn new skills or
enhance older ones. At the Teahouse, Warriors can chat with one
another and exchange gifts. Finding the correct gift will result
in raised favor with another officer which allows them to join
your forces on the front line.
Players can accrue materials through compelling mini games and
use them across the town’s facilities. Planting seeds and
harvesting ingredients in the Hoeing mini-game produces rare
goods which cannot be found on the battlefield, Fishing allows
officers to approach a body of water to catch a wide variety of
different fish breeds to use as gifts, and the Jinzō offers an
entertaining version of the traditional shell game.
SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada heavily focuses on the clan’s
historical figures, specifically following Masayuki Sanada, the
clan’s patriarch from his very first battle, and continuing the
story with the birth of his second son Yukimura. While pure
natured yet reckless as a child, Yukimura strived throughout his
life to give his best for the Sanada Clan. Both he and his
brother Nobuyuki were determined to be as wise as their father,
and the pair diligently trained together to follow in his
footsteps.
