Fighting with Skilled Rascals and Wanted Men

The missions include battles against powerful enemies and chase battles to capture them, and you will be rewarded with money and a certificate of revelation for completing the requests. Some of the wanted criminals in this mission are strong enemies, such as those who counterattack with heat actions or use swords with attributes, so be sure to be prepared.

●Battle Dungeon

In battle dungeons, the Shinsengumi perform top-secret missions given to them by the Shogunate. Battle dungeon stages include the "Oppo's Cave" and the "Gizoku's Abandoned Mine." Inside the dungeons, there are traps with spears that fly out of them and doors that can be opened by activating the traps.

In addition to defeating powerful enemies in the deepest part of the dungeon, there are also missions such as recovering stolen Senryo Boxes and rescuing kidnapped villagers. In addition to receiving money as a reward, players can obtain armor and armor materials from pots and boxes in the dungeon and from defeated enemies.
Since materials are easy to obtain, players should complete battle dungeons to create and strengthen their armors.

Battle dungeon battles and new powerful enemies

In battle dungeons, there are missions where you need to think about tactics that are different from those in the main game, such as when a large number of enemies appear, or when all the enemies have guns. In addition, there are strong enemies at the deepest level of each mission, wearing sturdy armor and equipped with weapons with attributes such as fire and lightning.

In some missions, a huge and powerful enemy, new to this title, awaits.
They are characterized by powerful blows delivered from their stature, which greatly exceeds that of Ryoma, but they may also throw arrows with force if you get too far away from them.
Let's challenge Ryoma by enhancing his abilities as well as his armor and troopers.

The arena where you can enjoy fascinating battles
In the arena, where many fierce fighters gather from all over the world to compete daily, there are two types of battles: the "win-out battle," in which you fight five opponents in a row, and the "battle for the victory," in which you fight a succession of opponents.
In the arena, where many fierce fighters gather from all over the world to compete against each other on a daily basis, there are two types of tournaments: the "winner-takes-all" tournament, in which players fight a series of five opponents, and the "100-man slaughter," in which they fight 100 enemies who appear one after another. By winning in the arena, players can win "fighting balls" that can be exchanged for prizes such as prize money, weapons, and items.
Some of the prizes are valuable items that are hard to find elsewhere, so be sure to participate actively.

Winners-take-all

In the "Kachikiri Battle," players compete in a series of battles against five other players. There are different types of "winner-takes-all" battles, including those with swords, guns, and fighting techniques, and in some cases, powerful opponents with unusual weapons. In addition, when defeated, opponents may drop items that can be used as materials for armors.

Hundred Slayers

In "Hyakunin Zanbari," players fight 100 enemies without interruption.
Depending on the number of enemies defeated, the number of fighting balls and prize money will increase. The battle style cannot be changed during the challenge, so choose the battle style that you are best at and aim for the victory.

The powerful enemies that stand in Ryoma's way will also be powered up.

Special Moves of Strong Enemies
In this title, some of the powerful enemies in the main series also use special special moves. In order to fight them, it is more important to learn their techniques, create and strengthen weapons, and prepare them well.

Okada Izo's Special Moves

Yizo Okada generates a tornado by swinging his sword. When he takes damage from this tornado, Ryoma is poisoned and takes additional damage at regular intervals. In addition, the poisoned state prevents him from running, further increasing the risk of being hit by Izo's attacks.
Izo takes a stance just before unleashing his tornado-generating technique, so be sure not to miss it.

Tokugawa Yoshinobu's Special Move

Yoshinobu Tokugawa uses a flame attack that penetrates in a straight line, so be careful even if you are at a distance. If you are hit by the attack, you will take heavy damage and go up in flames. Also, even if you guard against the attack, you will be hit by this powerful technique, so fight while dodging the attack.
