Sengoku Basara: Chronicle Heroes is the sequel to Sengoku Basara: Battle Heroes, featuring much of the same gameplay mechanics with a few additions such as air combos. Also included are two new characters, introduced in Samurai Heroes: Toyotomi swordsman Mitsunari Ishida and a grown-up, independent Ieyasu Tokugawa. Aside from the modes present in Battle Heroes, Chronicle Heroes features a Unification mode set to mimic the branching story paths of Samurai Heroes. Here, select a warrior to battle your way through Japan with the goal of becoming the nation's supreme leader, uniting the war-torn country once and for all.
