October 21, 1600: The Battle of Sekigahara: East (Tokugawa) vs West (Ishida).July 4, 1582: The Battle of Yamazaki: Akechi Mitsuhide vs Toyotomi.June 21, 1582: The Incident at Honnoji Oda Nobunaga vs Akechi Mitsuhide.
It should be worth noting that each version loosely sticks to a certain time frame and focuses on specific moments: case in point, the first game is all over Nobunaga while the second game's primary focus are the events leading to Sekigahara, and the third appears to try to cover just about everything in-between. The playable scenarios span fifty years of Japanese history, and playable characters include Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Sanada Yukimura, Mitsunari Ishida, Miyamoto Musashi, Hattori Hanzo, Kotaro Fuma, and many more. Samurai Warriors is a spinoff of Koei's Dynasty Warriors Hack and Slash, porting the gameplay elements to a new setting: the Sengoku period of Japanese history.
