Sanada clan
Each stage offers a selection of playable characters for the player to use according to their participation in the battles; consequently, some characters do not appear in the story, although they still appear in the aforementioned Chronicle Mode. All of the stories lead to two separate stories: the "Unification", which mainly tells the conquest of Japan by Hideyoshi Toyotomi as well as the conflicts between the Eastern and Western armies after Hideyoshi's death that leads to the Battle of Sekigahara and the rise of the Tokugawa shogunate; and the "Sanada" story, a parallel story with Unification that focuses on the Sanada clan.
