Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends (戦国無双2 猛将伝, Sengoku Musou 2: Moushouden) is the Xtreme Legends expansion for Samurai Warriors 2. It features new Story Modes, new stages, and a new charge attack for each character (usually dubbed by players as C5 or C9).

Changes[]

  • Characters can now level up to 70 rather than the previous 50; the bodyguards' maximum level is now 30.
  • Some voice actors were changed for the new recorded lines.
  • New characters in Samurai Warriors 2: Empires feature alternate colors, victory pose animations, and quotes during their story modes, largely based on those from the previous game.
  • The game also introduced an Orb system, which allows weapon customization.
  • Personal skills can now be purchased from the shop and can be individually collected for each character.
  • Like most other Xtreme Legends titles, a fifth weapon can also be obtained. The base attack power is the same as the fourth weapons.
  • For better or worse, the "Demon" element now does damage based on set percentages of the enemy's life bar. If an enemy's life bar is long and full, their life will drain quickly. On the other hand, elemental damage becomes extremely weak when they hit lower life.
  • Several Level 3 Musou Attack effects have been modified. For example, the shockwaves in Nagamasa's Level 3 Musou Attack now pin opponents in their places rather than knocking them back.

Modes[]

Choosing to Import info from the Samurai Warriors 2 disk allows all characters to be available for Story Mode and unlocks the title's previous Modes.

Mercenary Mode[]

The expansion features an endless mission-driven mode where players can choose any character as their main hero, performing odd jobs for various NPC characters. This mode is popular for gaining levels, earning money, learning skills, and obtaining Orbs. Players can also serve lords and collect ten precious swords. Each officer has a special skill.
