Samurai Warriors Chronicles/Story Mode

The story through Samurai Warriors Chronicles follows a linear historical narrative approach with the player creating a protagonist and living through the turbulent times, forging bonds with characters along the way. Generics can also be played in levels where they share the same level and equipment as the Protagonist and cannot be edited or interacted with like the main cast. These generic characters inclues: Takamoto Mōri, Yoshikiyo Murakami, Kansuke Yamamoto, Tatsuoki Saitō, Kojūrō Katakura, and Naoshige Nabeshima. The sequel, Sengoku Musou Chronicle 2nd acts as an expansion to the base game, changing the format of the story and even some participating characters in stages from the original game.
