Characters

The game features 30 playable characters, referred to as "Heroes". There are 27 characters spanning 13 Koei Tecmo video game series, as well as three original characters. These original characters are based on the Imperial Regalia of Japan, and they all serve as the main story focus of the game. They are:

  • Tamaki: The young princess responsible for summoning heroes from other worlds to help restore her kingdom following her father's death. Though she is chosen as heir to the throne, her right is challenged by other members of the royalty. She wields the Light's Echo, a weapon inspired by the Yata no Kagami. Her voice actress is Yūki Takada.
  • Shiki: Former crown prince of the kingdom and Tamaki's older brother, he originally accepted the heir apparent title before renouncing it for unknown reasons. He wields the Moonlight Glow, a weapon inspired by the Yasakani no Magatama. His voice actor is Kazuyuki Okitsu.
  • Setsuna: Another member of the royalty and Tamaki and Shiki's cousin, who makes claim for the throne, which originally belonged to his father. He wields the Divine Edge, a weapon inspired by the Kusanagi. His voice actor is Yukitoshi Kikuchi.

Each of the heroes is aligned to either Tamaki, Shiki, or Setsuna based on their series of origin. Tamaki's faction consists of Dynasty Warriors, Toukiden, Opoona, and Atelier series characters, while Shiki's faction consists of Samurai Warriors, Ninja Gaiden, Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time and Nioh series characters, and Setsuna's faction consists of Dead or Alive, Deception, Nights of Azure, Rio, and Samurai Cats series characters.

Development

The game was first confirmed with a teaser trailer released on September 13, 2016.[4][5][6] Development had started since the previous summer and was originally planned to be a new entry for the Warriors Orochi series, but the developers felt the need to make something different, using several Koei Tecmo titles as base.[7] The game would have a narrower count of characters than the Warriors Orochi series to better flesh out the existing characters; it was later confirmed that the game would have around 30 characters spanning 10 titles.[7] Although the characters who will appear have been finalized, a survey was conducted in the Famitsu magazine for the possibility of expansions through downloadable content.[7] A livestream was conducted in Niconico on December 1, 2016. Initially with a targeted release date of March 2, 2017,[8] the game was later pushed forward to March 30, 2017.

Reception

The game received positive critical reception, with Famitsu giving the score of 35 for both versions of the game.[14] It sold 40,368 and 17,866 physical retail copies for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions, respectively, during its first week of release.[15]
