Gameplay
- Attacks performed in conjunction with your partner will result in dealing bonus damage.
- Characters level up in the midst of battle, and can utilize newly learned skills on the spot.
- All three super moves are usable in battle, and can be cycled through as desired.
- If timed correctly, evading will result in the desertion mechanic, temporarily slowing enemies.
- Camps may have up to three levels, created by enemy strategist units. To take these the player must defeat commanders on every level. To assist in this, there is a single-button system, in which the player will have to press the attack button along with the timing on-screen.
- An 'Inrou of Enhancement' can be picked up mid-battle and used to give experience points to the character of your choice.
- Weapons can be enhanced with stats of your choice (attack, defense, BASARA gauge, fighting spirit, or hit points) or even upgraded to new limits, using either whetstone, fortune hammer, or tamahagane steel items.
- Weapons can also be combined to increase their potency and create different effects.
War Buddy
Players will be accompanied by a partner at all times who can be given commands by holding L2 and dragging a circle toward the desired target. This can be used on enemies, boxes, bases, etc.
This ally can also be tagged after they reach level 50, by pressing the R3 button. If tagged mid-combo, characters will immediately perform an attack upon switching to continue the chain.
Giga BASARA
When both you and your partner's BASARA gauges are full, and they are standing close enough together (the gauges will glow red), pressing L2 + Circle will activate a Giga BASARA attack. Ink sprays up from the ground to attack all surrounding enemies, and every character has a unique 'BASARA-e' image that will appear at the finish (Note: This can be activated in co-op as well, if the players are close enough to one another). Costumes will slightly affect the image of the finish.
Style Gauge and Maximum Style mode
Replacing the Hero/Battle Boost gauge is the Style gauge which works in a similar fashion. Once filled, it can be activated using L1 + R1, subsequently powering up your character's attack power and speed for a limited time, as well as slowing down surrounding enemies and increasing the exp and money earned.
Game Modes
Sengoku Creation Mode
The main gameplay mode of the game, this is where character stories take place over a series of battles. In appearance, this mode seems to be a fusion of Story and Unification modes from Sengoku BASARA 3.
Every playable character will have a main route. However, some of them will also have either a Drama route, said to be a more dramatic story, or an Anime route, featuring cutscenes animated by Production I.G, or both.
