- Story Line -
The troubled times of the Sengoku Era¹saw rival warlords battle to hold their ground.
Nobunaga Oda, the ruthless warlord whose motto was "all the world by force of arms", was killed at Honnoji Temple²by his right-hand man, Mitsuhide Akechi.

In the years after Nobunaga's death, the supreme warrior Hideyoshi Toyotomi invaded vast lands with his overwhelming military might. Hideyoshi's troops sieged Odawara Castle, owned by the Kanto region's³ prominent Hojo clan, which had been resisting and fighting off the invaders. The troops included the likes of Mitsunari Ishida, who had pledged his allegiance to Hideyoshi, as well as Ieyasu Tokugawa, the Lord of Mikawa⁴. At around that time, Masamune Date, a powerful leader in northern Japan, heard of the invasion of the Hojo clan. Seeing an opportunity to grab more power, Masamune set off to the Odawara Castle. He was about to fight a battle that many have come to see as reckless. Hearing of the advancing Masamune troops, the respected Takeda forces sent Yukimura Sanada to the battleground, where he reigned supreme.

As they set their eyes set beyond these tumultuous times, the movers and shakers spring into action!
