Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada is essentially a new adventure that is based on the heroic legend of the Sanada Clan. The Samurais in the Sanada Clan were reportedly one of the bravest and fiercest in the land of feudal Japan. Known for their lightning fast katana skills, the warriors believed in survival at all costs. Although ancient Japan had many Samurai clans that were legendary in their own right, the upcoming game focuses solely on the Sanada Clan.

The Sanada Clan’s most notable attribute was their strong sense of vigilance and insistence on ensuring the Sanada name remains forever etched in the history. Fans of the Samurai Warriors action series have long demanded a game that focused on this legendary clan and had made their request known to the developers on multiple occasions. Interestingly, gamers have demanded the inclusion of Masayuki Sanada, the patriarch of the Sanada Clan. Masayuki Sanada may be joining the game series for the first time, but his reputation goes far beyond the persona.

A Japanese Sengoku period lord and daimy?, Masayuki was the head of Sanada Clan. Despite leading a relatively tiny group of Samurais, he managed to establish himself as an independent daimy? under the Toyotomi regime. Besides being a skilled warrior, Masayuki is also famous for his use of diplomacy that he had to use very carefully amidst the powerful and deadly Tokugawa, Hoj?, and Uesugi clans. However, fans will undoubtedly be eager to try out his military strategies that have been carefully chronicled and celebrated in multiple novels and films.

The player of Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada will follow the great warrior’s first battle. Gamers are also expected to encounter Masayuki’s second son, Yukimura Sanada. Players will get to relive the meteoric rise of the Sanada Clan from the lowly vassals to powerful lords. Yukimura is widely popular among fans of Samurai, and players will be able to experience the journey of the legendary warriors’ right from their adolescence up to the time they are able to wage wars using all the elements. Yukimura’s famously known as the “The Crimson Demon of War,” and fans will be able to observe exactly how he was able to earn the fearsome title, besides witnessing some of the finest battles that skillfully combined the skills of the warriors with the acumen of a mentally strong strategist.
