Epic battles now play across a 3D battlefield in the first entry into the Samurai Warriors franchise for Nintendo 3DS. This version of the game is highlighted by a character customization component, where players can create a custom general to serve as their main character. You'll lead this general and three other generals out to the battle field for group play. A tap on the system's bottom screen allows you to switch off between the four generals in your party. The game has missions within its missions, and you can send off your various generals to tackle these in parallel.
