Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This section is about introducing the author and the game just as the section heading states. -------------------------------------------- 1.1 About the author and the game -------------------------------------------- Hello! I�m seanloh and welcome to my very first FAQ that I have written and I hope that this guide will help you players out there playing Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes. The reason for me writing this guide is because when I try to find guides regarding this game, I couldn�t find one so I decided to have a go and write it myself. Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes is a hack and slash game by Capcom which I regard it as the equivalent of Samurai Warriors by KOEI with a Capcom flair to it. This game focuses on the build up to the Battle of Sekigahara in the year 1600 and begins from the Battle of Odawara Castle. As such, some of the characters will not return as they are confirmed dead during the storyline. ----------------------------------- 1.2 Contact Details ----------------------------------- My email is [email protected] I welcome any comments you may have regarding my guide, tips and even criticisms as well. As this is my first guide, it might not be very good and I would appreciate it if you would help me with some issues and questions that I might have regarding this game. You may also contact me through Facebook. My facebook name is Sean �Dominage� Loh. ----------------------------------- 1.3 Version History ----------------------------------- Version 0.1- Began the guide of Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes Version 0.2- Completed the trophy section --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
