Saves you a refund- Players seeking a purely combat-focused game may find the base events, mini-games, and photo mode interrupt the battle loop.
- Players wanting to use every outfit in every battle will encounter a restriction: Uchiban outfits cannot be worn in Sortie battles.
- Players looking for a standalone outfit, music, or backdrop set should note that those DLC items require the main game.
Our take on Touken Ranbu Warriors
The page gives substantial attention to the Deluxe Edition’s added outfits, but also limits where those outfits can be used: they are unavailable in Sortie battles. The edition’s included content is therefore not all available during the main mission type.
What is Touken Ranbu Warriors?
This action game follows 15 sword characters sent to investigate changes to history during the Sengoku Era.
After an attack by the History Retrograde Army, the characters receive missions from the Government of the Time. Battles use large-scale Warriors-style action, including partner attacks and duels. Between missions, the honmaru base offers character interactions, original events, mini-games such as Pose Matching and Tag, and a photo mode. Characters can be positioned around the 3D base. Two control schemes are available: Regular Mode uses the traditional Warriors controls, while Easy Mode uses simple button inputs. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the main game, five honmaru backdrops, five additional music pieces, and 16 outfits. The outfits cannot be worn during Sortie battles.
