Plot
An evil warlord is intent on conquering the world, this time by the use of time travel to conquer every known important event in history. The two protagonists from the previous game are sent by a priestess from the past to battle the warlord's forces to restore the world's ages and ensure the warlord's conquest never succeeds.
Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to Sengoku 3, except that the playable character is constantly armed with a sword for which can initiate wide plane attacks and vertical slashes. Pressing both attack buttons together allows the character to block or dodge attacks. Another button combo gets the character to perform a special trick attack. The character can also jump and do jump attacks. Occasionally the character will be mounted on horseback and have to carefully hack and slash enemies during a canter.
The player can transform the character into three different forms including, the armour clad wolf, the shuriken throwing ninja and the staff-wielding Tengu warrior for a limited time. Various collectable orbs heal the character's health or enhance the character's attack abilities and that of the different forms' capabilities.
