Sengoku Basara 4 — Players select characters from a diverse roster to fight their allies on enemy battlefields. The gameplay is accessible enough that any player can jump into action, but rewards players for mixing up their combinations by offering them more gold or power. This release introduces new mechanics to the series while maintaining old mechanics from previous games. The new story mode is called "Creation of Sengoku" and is the main game mode of the game, in which the characters' stories unfold through a series of battles. In appearance, this mode appears to be a mixture of the Story and Unite modes from Sengoku BASARA 3 Utage.
