Samurai Warriors: State of War for PSP

Civil war grips samurai-era Japan. Play as one of Japan's legendary military figures as you battle for control of the splintered nation in this tactical action saga. Each character's storyline features multiple possible paths depending on the decisions you make. You'll also get to select one of 200 bodyguards, a battlefield wingman who fights by your side. Use authentic 16th century weapons and battle tactics as you charge into massive open battlefields and storm castles filled with traps. The game's Battlefield Area System divides the action into sections, making it more suited to short-term portable play without sacrificing long-term character development. You can also link up for four-player wireless battles.
