Revision as of 00:31, 16 November 2015
Sengoku Basara 4 is the fourth game in the Sengoku BASARA series of action strategy games. It was released for the PlayStation 3 on January 23, 2014 exclusively in Japan. The game apparently takes place in a parallel world set in the Muromachi period (the time before the Sengoku period began). Because of this, a lot of characters from earlier games in the series return. Sengoku BASARA 4 was produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi and directed by Makoto Yamamoto. For this game, character design was passed to Tooru Ookubo, instead of Makoto Tsuchibayashi.
In 2015, an expansion titled Sengoku BASARA 4 Sumeragi was released in Japan.

New Characters
- Katsuie Shibata - a young soldier in the vanguard of the Oda army. After a rebellion which ended in failure, the skilled Katsuie was left in a weak position. Now, it's as though he's given up and lives for nothing more than following orders from his aloof master Nobunaga. However, once he's on the battlefield he plays an active role, using the full reach of his reverse-bladed naginata and many extravagant techniques.
- Maria Kyogoku - (playable only in Sumeragi)
- Matabei Gotō - originally a warrior in the Kuroda forces, now he drifts around Japan with no master. Matabei is very proud and holds a strong grudge against anyone who wounds his pride, vindictively stalking them and writing their name in his mark book.
- Naotora
- Sakon Shima - a young commander in the Toyotomi army, following Mitsunari Ishida. A cheerful youth who enjoys nothing more than a gamble; he's as light on his feet as his looks and behavior imply. He yearns to show his master Mitsunari his one-sided loyalty. In combat, Sakon is a warrior who can be relied on to stir up the battlefield with a constantly changing flurry of kicks and slashes.
- Sen no Rikyū - - (debuting and playable only in Sumeragi)
- Shikanosuke Yamanaka - a retainer of the Amago family. Shikanosuke is a boy who is traveling in search of Haruhisa Amago. Unfortunately, his detective skills haven't yet matured and he frequently leaps to the wrong conclusion. He's accompanied by a deer called Oyassan.
- Yoshiteru Ashikaga - (playable only in Sumeragi) - The 13th Ashikaga shogun who longs for heated battles. He relinquishes the shogun rule back to the heavens, which in turn causes the Sengoku Genesis. He has a prominent role in the game, appearing in multiple drama routes as the last boss for the character in question and is likely the hardest boss in the game. Ashikaga’s weapon of choice is a scepter that has the ability to transform into other weapons.
Gameplay
Players will be accompanied by a partner at all times who can be given commands by holding L2 and dragging a circle toward the desired target. This can be used on enemies, boxes, bases, etc. This ally can also be tagged after they reach level 50, by pressing the R3 button. If tagged mid-combo, characters will immediately perform an attack upon switching to continue the chain. When both the player and his/her partner's BASARA gauges are full, and if they are standing close enough to each other, pressing L2 + Circle will activate a Giga BASARA attack. Ink sprays up from the ground to attack all surrounding enemies.
Also, characters level up in the midst of battle, and can utilize newly learned skills on the spot. Camps may have up to three levels, unlike in Samurai Heroes where there was only one. To destroy these, the player must defeat commanders on every level. Weapons can be enhanced with certain stats or upgraded to new limits, using either a whetstone, a fortune hammer, or tamahagane steel items. They can also be combined to increase their potency and/or create different effects.
