In the game, players play as the Saniwa sage whose mission is to defeat the evil forces known as the Historical Revisionists. To fight them, the Saniwa can bring famous, historical swords to life as Touken Danshi. Players get to summon personified swords, create an army, and fight off the evil forces trying to change history. There are currently over 200 Touken Danshi that players can summon in the game.
