Yoshitsune Eiyūden: The Story of Hero Yoshitsune (義経英雄伝 The Story of Hero Yoshitsune, lit. "Heroic Saga of Yoshitsune") is a video game developed and published by FromSoftware for the PlayStation 2, based on the legendary samurai, Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

Contents

The game was later re-released with additional content (such as characters and levels) and two-player cooperative or competitive modes. This new version was titled Yoshitsune Eiyūden Shura (義経英雄伝修羅) (shura meaning "mayhem" or "carnage").

Gameplay

Developers described the game as a cross between real-time strategy games and typical third-person 3D action games. The game displays a 3rd person view of the area surrounding the player in a real-time strategic setting, similar to Koei's Dynasty Warriors. There are many stages in which the goal is to guide the troops safely across the battlefield while protecting them.
