I'm actually surprised by the way that it seems nobody even knows about this game, or cares about it. So this is my way of trying to get the game a bit more attention.
Samurai Warrior Chronicles is a hack and slash game developed by Omega Force, who are best known for the Dynasty Warriors series. The top screen is where the game itself is played, with the bottom screen showing a map and various other pieces of information. Every stage will have up to four playable characters and you can swap control to any of them by simply poking their portraits on the bottom screen. Playable characters include two exclusive characters made for the game, as well as every playable character in the previous Samurai Warrior games - each one having a different combat style as well as different available skills and abilities - which brings the count up to a staggering 42 playable characters. Therefore choosing which characters to use is just as important as where you choose to position them. Interestingly, there is also a status screen, dictating level, EXP, stats and equipment for the characters used.
While there is little indication of how the game itself will control, looking at previous Samurai Warrior games makes it safe to assume the four face buttons will function as jump, normal attack, charged attack and musou attack. The L button will likely retain the Guard/Dodge function while the R button will likely retain the Ranged Attack function. This is of course speculation for now, but that's the best I've got. I'll leave you with this, a gameplay trailer.
