Samurai Warriors Spirit of Sanada Pre-Installed Game
The fate of the samurai Masayuki Sanada and his sons is a matter of historical record. Like many family histories from Japan’s Warring States period, it’s a story mottled with triumph and tragedy, and the Samurai Warriors series has woven it in and out of several games in the past. For a franchise as often criticized for its repetitious nature as Koei Tecmo’s Warriors series, devoting an entire game to a story whose pivotal points and inevitable outcome have already been played out in previous installments seems like a pretty big risk. And up until Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada’s halfway mark, I was pretty sure that risk wouldn’t pay off. I’m glad I was wrong.
