==Gameplay==
This game works very similar to the first game, only more complicated. The player must slice a group of demons, or evil spirits, as they spawn from a dark portal before they attack the city. Dark demons will appear and the player must slice them with the sword at the correct time to vanquish them, by pressing A. Occasionally, a vortex of demons will swarm at once and the player has to perform a whirlwind slice, by pressing A and B at the same time, which will make the samurai thrash his sword rapidly. At time during the game, the screen will be covered by screens of "the story so far". As well as a "The End" screen at the end, making it more difficult to slice the demons, making the player rely on the audio. In the background, a "LIVE MUSIC" sign will flash in time with the hits. The tempo is also faster than the original.

The game works the same as before, but is more complicated and with a faster tempo. The game takes place on a rooftop in a city at night, a modern interpretation contrasting the traditional feel of the previous version. [[The Wandering Samurai]] must again defeat red-eyed [[Demons|monsters]] spawning from a dark portal by slicing them, and occasionally using the whirlwind slice on a group of green-eyed monsters that appear all at once. The red-eyed monsters vary in size, with the first two sizes returning, and a new, much larger variant appearing in this version. The game once again starts with the samurai moving into position, as the words "A Hero's Tale" (or "Samurai Slice" in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'') set the scene.
== Controls ==
During the first wave of monsters, snow starts falling, followed by black feathers. The game then covers the screen to show the story so far, showing a [[Bunny Man|bussinessman]] carrying home a stuffed bunny for his daughter, which a monster swoops in and steals. The samurai appears before him, and proceeds to chase the monsters to retrieve the bunny. After this, a storm appears as the game nears the end. The very last monster is the one carrying the bunny. After it, the text "The End" appears on screen, which the samurai can slice if he so chooses. In the background, a sign reading "LIVE MUSIC" (or "JAZZ" in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'') flashes in time with the hits.
*Hit: The samurai slices the evil spirit in two. The group of spirits are easily cut up by his whirlwind slice.
|just=The player slices the monsters in half. Interestingly, the end of a whirlwind slice is counted as a perfect input even though the player does not need to release the button at the right time.
*Barely: The samurai's blade grazes the evil spirit and it flies away. A barely counts as a miss. When facing a horde of spirits, the samurai cuts them up as normal though this will count as a miss if the initial hit was a barely.
|miss=The player grazes the monster, making it fly away. When facing a group of monsters, the first one is grazed, and the samurai does not yell at the end.
*Miss: The spirit attacks the samurai with a bite. If pressed too early, the samurai will simply miss.
|through=The monster strikes the player, knocking them over. Any missed monsters in a group latch onto the samurai and bite him.}}
