How to play Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends on Mac

Game summary

Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends is the fifth Xtreme Legends expansion by Koei. It shares the same achievements with the parent game on the Xbox 360. The expansion introduced new characters to the series. Imagawa Yoshimoto from Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends returned in the expansion with an updated character design, and Shibata Katsuie and Sasaki Kojiro from Samurai Warriors 2 Empires are also playable and have new weapons. Shibata Katsuie wields two hand axes, while Sasaki Kojiro still carries a nodachi, but can now summon an ex-dimensional sword during battle. Because Imagawa Yoshimoto was put back into the game, the previously omitted Battle of Okehazama is brought back, and Hideyoshi's Shikoku campaign against Chosokabe Motochika is also included.
First released: Aug 2007

Play Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
