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. The sphere bar on the left is named Rengi gauge. It is mainly used to unleash the new techniques in this game described below A stronger musou attack, Musou Ougi - Kaiden, is added. When the Rengi gauge is full, pressing the Musou attack button will result in Kaiden being used. 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. Eigi's usefulness is breaking enemy guard instantly. Musou gauge have 3 bars like before All characters can now call horses There are 3 types of weapons: Normal, Power and Speed There are now other equipments other than weapons: Armor which increase defense, Gauntlet which increase horse skill, Footwear which increase speed, and Saddle which lets you ride a horse from the start of the stage Other than the saddle, the equipments can be upgraded at a blacksmith with materials gained at stages 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 Yoshimoto, Kotarou, Toshiie, Nouhime and Ranmaru do not have storylines You can use cannons and such on siege battles Characters are now unlocked by purchasing with koku earned from battles There will be a new mode 村雨城 Murasame Castle Mode, which is based on an old NES game 謎の村雨城 Nazo no Murasamejou. You can also play as the game protagonist 鷹丸 Takamaru (Charge-typed moveset) here. The four castle bosses will also appear. Edit General Mode (aka. CAW) will be included here There is a special story for your created character, 戦国史 Sengoku History mode, which will span from the beginning to the end of Sengoku era. There will be network utilization such as online play and priced DLCs Image song by Gackt "斬~ZAN~" to appear on game ending Dengeki Games Review Score: 80-75 Edited by BlackKite, Nov 18 2009, 03:17 AM.
