Out of the titles in 4, this one has the most detailed story so far, even more historical while a bit romanticized compared to 4 and it's "expansion" 4-II, detailing the Sanada Clan during the period where Shingen was alive up to the Siege of Osaka.

Unlike the newer installment, you have characters who aren't clones and tons of them on who you could choose from depending on your playstyle.
Combat

22 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is standard fare for the Warriors series; with this game building on SW4; Spirit of Sanada's combat system is fast, smooth and very satisfying thanks to the series' adoption of hyper attacks.
