Dynasty Warriors (三國無双, Sangokumusō?) is a weapon-based fighting game developed and published by Koei. It was released on December 1, 1997 for the PlayStation. Unlike the later installments in the series which are hack and slashers, Dynasty Warriors is a fighting game. The graphics are similar to Tekken.
[edit] Gameplay
The fighting system in Dynasty Warriors is fairly complex. All combat is weapon-based, similar to the Soulcalibur series. The player's aim is to parry the enemy's strikes with considerable timing and recognition, leaving the enemy vulnerable to attack. The stages are in morning, noon, and dusk.
[edit] Name and series
In Japan, the game was released as Sangokumusou. With the next installment in the series a departure in genre and style from the original Dynasty Warriors, it was entitled Shin Sangokumusou in Japan. In North America, the game was released as Dynasty Warriors 2, leading to the discrepancy in title numbers.
