Today Koei Tecmo released a trailer showing off the Castle Town in the upcoming release of Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada. Just like in other titles in the series Castle Town works as your hub. You can chat with your officers or prepare for the battle looming ahead.

Here is more information straight from the press release:

The Castle Town expands throughout the course of the story, granting a greater array of facilities for players to utilize. The Blacksmith can improve and upgrade weapons to grant an upper-hand in combat, Stables allow for horses to be purchased and prepared for the next mission, Shops sell rare and unique items which will replenish an officer’s energy, and the Dojo provides a training ground where one can learn new skills or enhance older ones. At the Teahouse, Warriors can chat with one another and exchange gifts. Finding the correct gift will result in raised favor with another officer which allows them to join your forces on the front line.

Players can accrue materials through compelling mini games and use them across the town’s facilities. Planting seeds and harvesting ingredients in the Hoeing mini-game produces rare goods which cannot be found on the battlefield, Fishing allows officers to approach a body of water to catch a wide variety of different fish breeds to use as gifts, and the Jinzō offers an entertaining version of the traditional shell game.

Here are some new screenshots:

There is also a  trailer for your viewing pleasure:

The game will release on May 23, 2017 for the PlayStation4 computer entertainment system and digitally on PC via Steam.

As the site admin, he will continue to do this and even show there is value in what some would deem "pure ecchi." He loves niche games and anime more than anything... well, except maybe Neptune.
