Samurai Warriors is a combat game where you take on the role of a warrior in
Japan. This game is very similar to the Dynasty Warriors series. Your warrior
belongs to what is called a Daimyo Clan and fights for that clan to unify
Japan. You will start with the option of only 5 characters, but as you play
new characters will be unlocked.

In Story Mode you will fight as your selected character and follow their story.

Each character has a different story. I will first lay out the character and
some information on them and then I will proceed with their stages. For now I
just have their stages and how to get to the next stage for either endings.
Eventually I will go a little more in-depth with strategies.

* My favorite characters.

for the Battle of Nagashino.

In order to save Shingen, you must let him die now, but once you have completed
Yukimura's Story Mode and unlock Shingen Takeda, complete Shingen's Story Mode
and replay this level. This will then open up a mission where you have an
opportunity to stop Hanzo.

Hanzo is fast. So as soon as you see him show up race back to your main camp as
fast as possible. He will fail if you are in the main camp before him. This is
not entirely easy. If you can't get it then first go defeat Kazumasa Ishikawa.
Then go back to your main camp and wait for Ieyasu to begin his retreat and

Victory Condition- Secret Letter is acquired.
Defeat Condition- Hanzo Hattori is defeated.

There are two ways to complete this level. You must either gather the
information and acquire the Secret Letter or don't acquire the Secret Letter
and defeat Yukimura. Doing one or the other opens up a new stage for whichever
you did.

If you are going for the Secret Letter then you cannot fight anyone. When you
enter a room and Hanzo says something like "The next room' or "Further to the
back" then that means enter the next room, but eavesdrop on the enemy
conversations. Walk up to the door and listen to them. Do not break it.

Getting the letter opens the Siege of Osaka-Summer stage.
