Gameplay System
There is not much difference on gameplay feeling compared to previous games.
*
* Control will be more optimized on classic controller rather than remote controller. Here's the known list of buttons used.
D-pad: Use items
Left joystick: Move
L: Camera position fixing (Maybe this could be the guard button as usual)
Y: Normal attack
X: Charge attack
B: Jump
A: Musou attack
* The game will perhaps introduce timely presses producing advantage rather than the usual mashing. In case of Kanbei, If you just mash the button, he will only attack with 2 orbs. But if you use timing on the pressing, he can attack with up to 4 orbs.
* A stronger musou attack, Musou Ougi - Kaidan, is added. There is a line of spheres next to musou gauge and when they're fully charged you can release it
* The sphere bar on the left is named Rengi gauge. It is mainly used to unleash the new techniques in this game such as the aforementioned Musou Ougi Kaidan
* There will be also a new technique called Eigi (lit. Shadow Technique) which will also use up the Rengi gauge. During attack, by pressing Jump button, the attack will be immediately canceled to unleash this technique
* Musou gauge have 3 bars like before
* All characters can now call horses
Other known informations
*
* There are 3 main storylines here
1. Sengoku 3 Heroes - Nobunaga, Hideyoshi & Ieyasu
2. Kantou 3 Kingdoms - Takeda, Uesugi (& Hojo?)
3. Sekigahara Young Warriors - Kanetsugu, Yukimura, Mitsunari
* You can use cannons and such on siege battles
* There will be a new mode 謎の村雨城 Nazo no Murasamejou, which is based on an old NES game of the same name
* Image song by Gackt to appear on game ending
? Its always nice. Who knows.
