Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada

Sengoku Musou ~Sanadamaru~ (戦国無双 ～真田丸～) is a spin-off Samurai Warriors 4: Empires game starring Yukimura and the Sanada. Its Japanese release is meant to coincide with the upcoming climax of the 2016 NHK drama Sanadamaru.

Gameplay

 * Story Mode will revolve around Yukimura's life from early childhood to late adulthood. Key characters will age to match the story's chronological order.
 * Generic officers retain their customized appearance from Samurai Warriors 4: Empires.
 * New to the game are long-term battles which consist of separate skirmishes affected by a day and night cycle.
 * A castle town feature similar to Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends will be included. Upon entering, players can purchase horses at the stable, interact with various characters, play other modes, or go fishing.
 * Fishing is a new gameplay mechanic used for gathering materials or forming beneficial bonds with different characters.
 * Open-world exploration is provided by traveling the outskirts of the castle town. Players can find different types of items or face random enemies for experience.
 * In battle, players can summon reinforcements by triggering "Next Move" which requires Sanada Coins to activate. These coins are earned by fulfilling battle sub-missions or gathering information in the castle town.
