Samurai Heroes

Samurai Heroes is a command-based RPG set during Japan’s Warring States period. Choose a protagonist from 91 daimyo families or create a new warlord, build an army and conquer enemy castles in any order as you aim to unify the country. Each daimyo family offers different protagonist abilities, retainers and their abilities, local power dynamics, and warlords who may join you, creating different story developments across playthroughs.

Recruit and lead warlords

More than 300 warlords appear in the game. Independent generals may join you after you defeat them in battle, while generals from other factions may join after you conquer their faction. At your faction’s castle, form units from your generals and assign deputy commanders to improve their abilities. Combine generals’ skills and abilities to shape your units.

Battles and equipment

In battle, use spear, cavalry, archery and strategy attribute skills, along with powerful unique skills, to overwhelm enemy units. Enemies become stronger the farther you travel from your base. Defeat carries no penalty, except in some event battles.

Enemies may drop equipment, and certain events also award it. Items receive randomly assigned quality and titles, giving you equipment to hunt for. You can also use equipment to enhance generals.

Conquer the map

The vast field map is based on an actual map of Japan, with enemy castles spread across it. Choose your own route: build strength by defeating weaker forces first or take on a famous warlord early to obtain their equipment. Events, both positive and negative, occur depending on your progress against enemy forces; overcome them as you pursue national unification.
