The player controls the daimyo Takeda Shingen and his double (controlled by a second player) who embarks on a journey to defeat rival daimyo Uesugi Kenshin during the battles of Kawanakajima. He wields a katana to defeat enemy soldiers while on his way to reach enemy generals. Numerous power-ups, distinguishable by Chinese characters on them, are available to assist Takeda on his quest. Bonus stages where Takeda shoots down enemies while performing yabusame for extra points are available. At the end of every stage, Takeda defeats enemy soldiers in one-on-one combat.
