In Touken Ranbu Warriors, famous swords take the form of warriors named Touken Danshi (swordsmen), and these elite fighters are sworn to protect history from an onslaught of evildoers. This all-new experience promises to combine the Touken training of the Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- simulation game with the breathtaking musou action of Koei Tecmo’s WARRIORS series, delivering must-play 1 vs. 1,000 combat.
To best accommodate both players that are new to action games and experienced players, an Easy Mode will be added to the game’s controls. By enabling it, one single button is used for automatically attacking and dodging. But the normal controls for a more traditional musou experience are also available.
Upon selecting who to go on combat, you can also choose another Touken Danshi to accompany as a Partner. This will not only deepen their bonds with each other, but together, Partners can perform special attack combos. The Touken Danshi will also have a “Wounded” status similar to the browser game.
After the battle, you and your Danshi will return to the honmaru, a headquarter where the Touken Danshi can rest. Here, Touken Danshi can be upgraded, items can be purchased from the shop, and you can also watch interactions from each of the Touken Danshi.
