Wei
While remnants of Orochi's army quickly reform, Cao Cao, ruler of Wei, decides to also build up his own force. Cao Cao, along with the mysterious woman Nu Wa, drift throughout the land, with Zhang He and Dian Wei acting as bodyguards for their lord. At Si Province, Kunoichi informs Cao Cao that an outlandish 'circus' of an army, led by a monkey, had approached. Cao Cao asks if Nu Wa knows anything about it, but she denies to know anything. During the battle, Cao Cao's army combats a force led by a monkey and Dong Zhuo, who hasn't seemed to change at much at all, save for the fact that he now took the position of a "monkey-handler". At Si Shui Gate, Cao Cao finds out that Nu Wa has been testing him, after they face Lu Bu, while absorbing the Xiahou Dun army. After the battle, Cao Cao is suspicious with the appearance of a mystical monkey which he finds out to be named Sun Wukong, Da Ji's involvement, and Lu Bu.

Nu Wa finally reveals that Da Ji has the intention of reviving Orochi, while Sun Wukong seems to be working towards the same goal. With the knowledge of a high level of danger, Cao Cao seeks to find any potential ally. He along with Cao Pi sent letters requesting for allies, and sent Zhang He with an artillery to form an alliance with Yuan Shao at Shizugatake. At the latter battle, Taishi Ci joins the Wei forces on orders from Wu as their reply to Cao Cao's request. Zhang He also devises a plan to use the inner hatred of the three Yuan brothers to turn on their father, and also subdues Jiang Wei when he finds out of the plan.

At Ji Castle, Toshiie Maeda and Magoichi Saika face a Date army, led by Sima Yi. Cao Cao, thinking this as an opportunity to defeat the enemy and gain allies, sends Xiahou Yuan to help them out. The plan works out in success subduing the Date army, while Yuan and Magoichi Saika make a sort of friendly rivalry. Toshiie Maeda, thankful for the rescue, asks for anything they can do to repay their saviors. Cao Cao leads them to be absorbed into his own army. In the aftermath, Nu Wa ponders deeply about Cao Cao. He successfully gained an alliance with Wu, absorbed two armies into his own, and was even able to see through Nu Wa. She remarks that Cao Cao is more fearsome and deadly than Kiyomori Taira, and if turned down the wrong path, will be almost unstoppable.

At Komaki-Nagakute, Orochi was revived by Kiyomori, though in a very weak state. Their army attacked a ferocious detail led by Cao Pi, though they still deliverance from a friend. Cao Cao was the one to bring relief, rushing through to come into contact with his son, who is thankful. From there, Pang Tong successfully burns enemy ranks down in the center of battle, leading to praise from Cao Cao. After defeating the army, as well as Kiyomori, the latter transports Orochi somewhere else for safe keeping. Nu Wa explains that Orochi needed a girl named Himiko to restore his power, to which Cao Cao is disappointed that the woman has been keeping secrets yet again. At Yamatai, the Wei army pursues Himiko. Unfortunately, she escapes before they could catch her, but only after recruiting Nagamasa Azai, Oichi, and the Asakura army, who responded to Cao Cao's call. Da Ji and Nu Wa have a short conversation, where Da Ji remarks on how time has changed Nu Wa, compared to Da Ji herself. Cao Cao captured Da Ji, but has Nu Wa "eating out of the palm of his hand". Da Ji tells Nu Wa that she should look "closer to home" to find the real threat.

At Tong Gate, Kiyomori makes one final stand against the Wei command. Xiahou Dun led an army against him. Enemies had kept on reviving themselves, greatly confusing Dun's forces. However, Nobunaga Oda, along with his own army, that included Mitsunari Ishida and Katsuie Shibata, raided the battlefield, defeating the sorcerers that were the base of the confusion, and slayed Kiyomori. Nobunaga Oda and Cao Cao celebrate after the battle, along with their armies, which stands for the unity of the Coalition. In the end, Kiyomori was just trying to stall time for Orochi's complete recovery.

During the final battle of Guan Du, a fully-resurrected Orochi, named Orochi X, led a giant infantry to the West, while Cao Cao led an army to the East of the battlefield. The Hero of Chaos and the Demon King stood, unfazed by the Serpent King's overwhelming presence. The Wei army gradually takes over bases and takes strongholds. Three garrisons are taken in the middle of the battlefield, inhabited and protected by three officers. A good amount of enemy officers come to take the garrisons back, but Cao Cao unleashes a rifle unit, which helps destroy all Orochi officers who came to reclaim the bases. After taking over most of the battlefield, two forces acted as reinforcements. One of them - The Wu Kingdom, led by Sun Jian. The other - The Shu Kingdom, respectively led by Liu Bei. Both armies responded to Cao Cao's call for allies. After an inspiring comment by Nobunaga, the Three Kingdoms unite to finally slay Orochi X for the second time.

Tower
The goal of Tower is to knock the opponent off of the tower, all the while being attacked by regular peons

Survival Mode
This is a Tag Team mode. You choose three characters out of the ones you have unlocked and battle with three randomly generated characters in an arena much like Mortal Kombat/Tekken/Dead Or Alive. The walls can be broken and characters can be thrown out of the ring resulting in a defeat of that character. If you win, then you are put up against three other characters and it starts again.
