New Stage
Edo in 1651, the Keian Era
In 1651, during the Keian era, Edo was supposed to be enveloped in peace. However, the large castle town that was once proof of the shogunate's authority has transformed into a hellish wasteland plagued by the gales of the Crucible. Yokai, human rebels, and alchemists from foreign lands have descended on Edo, creating a battlefield fraught with chaos. With the shogun's absence, areas across the Edo castle town have been overridden with yokai. Amidst tense battles against unknown yokai and new mysteries, new encounters await.
New Weapons
Hoko & Shield, Ninja Hoko & Shield
A weapon set that balances the offensive capabilities of the short spear with the defensive capabilities of the shield. The Hoko & Shield and the Ninja Hoko & Shield have a great many uses in battle, ranging from basic attacks like defending with the shield while attacking with the short spear, to tactical moves like flinging the shield at the enemy.
New Threats
A New Enemy Stands Before Takechiyo
Enemies with unprecedented strength stand in Takechiyo's way, including the one-eyed swordsman, Yagyu Jubei. Dominate fierce battles and obtain new equipment and Soul Cores in order to grow even stronger.
New Horizon
Enlightened One's Journey
The Enlightened One's Journey, a difficulty mode that exceeds the Shogun's Journey, is now available. This mode offers more possibilities for growth, including stronger equipment, additional Soul Cores, higher level caps, and higher +value caps through Soul Matching. This mode is unlocked by completing the Shogun's Journey.
New Equipment
Hundred Demon Realms Picture Scrolls
Fight highly customizable battles over and over again, while carefully selecting the effects of Hundred Demon Realms Picture Scrolls to create self-imposed challenges. Winning the unique battles of each scroll will enable players to unlock that scroll as a piece of equipment and earn the chance to obtain special effects by winning further battles.
The combination of enemies, stages, and special rules offers countless variations. Highly valuable scrolls may also appear at times. This feature is available not only for solo play but also for multiplayer sessions. Train alongside your friends by challenging yourself on millions of battlefields.
