Game Summary:
For the first time on any handheld game system, players will experience the thrill of fighting single handed against legions of powerful enemy soldiers in historic battles that shaped the Chinese empire. Based on Luo Guanzhong’s historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Dynasty Warriors series of tactical action games takes players back in time when chaos ruled ancient China. In the game, players are equipped with powerful weapons and their strategic wits, with which they must fight their way through grand battlefields populated with hordes of enemy warriors.
With previous console-based Dynasty Warriors games, the player was free to roam about one vast battlefield. One stage could take more than 30 minutes to complete, but stages this long would not be convenient for a mobile gaming environment. So in the PSP version of Dynasty Warriors, each stage is divided into a network of smaller battlefield areas, with each area holding a different degree of strategic importance. These areas influence each other and change according to the battle situation. If the player wins in one area, the victory may create a positive influence in other areas (i.e. increased morale). Or if an allied army retreats, this may decrease allied morale. As a result, the player must be aware of the status of each battlefield area, decide an appropriate battle policy and lead his army to victory.
In previous Dynasty Warriors games, the purpose of a bodyguard was to provide direct support for the player. Dynasty Warriors for PSP is endowing this bodyguard with extra abilities. These officers will fight with the player as bodyguards but possess special skills such as the ability to heal or raise morale. You will start the game with the option to have 4 standard second in commands assisting you, but as you win battles more superior bodyguards come available to you. This new system will also add replay value. Dynasty Warriors for PSP will include rare second in command officers that can be acquired only by meeting specific conditions. Furthermore, players can exchange collected second in command officers via Memory Sticks.
There are two single-player only game modes: Musou mode and Free Mode. In Musou mode, select a character and battle through 5 stages. In Free mode, select a scenario and enjoy the battle.
