One Battle Becomes One Quest
Until now the quintessential Dynasty Warriors experience pitted a lone warrior against thousands of ruthless enemies. Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce will forever change the way gamers experience the Dynasty Warriors universe. In the game, players will enlist in quests that will challenge their very sense of what it means to be a true warrior. Each quest will take players to enormous, heavily-armed strongholds where enemy soldiers man batteries of massive and equally devastating weapons. Up to four players can join together and form a ’strikeforce’ to conquer these heavily armed fortresses. Working as a team, players can plan a coordinated attack, confuse the enemy or lure unsuspecting soldiers into a trap. Uniting and fighting as a team are the keys to victory.
While immense fortresses, towers, and ships serve as the settings for these legendary quests, the supernatural abilities of the game’s combatants will let players take the lighting fast action to where it has never gone before- the skies above. With enemies and allies streaking across the sky, new ‘air fighting’ techniques to master, and colossal challenges to conquer, the game’s action will deliver a Dynasty Warriors experience unlike any other.
Key Game Features:
- Accept quests to conquer massive fortifications or slay massive unimaginable creatures.
- Gather with friends and fight together as a single overwhelming force to complete mission objectives.
- Fight in the air and on the ground. Enemies will make clever use of the terrain and space, and attack from nearly every direction.
- Incredible customization allows you to create and modify weapons using supplies gathered during battle. You can also customize the look of your character with the game’s “Mugen” effects.
- Three powerful stories based on each of the ‘Three Kingdoms.’
- Download and share content with other players.
- Features both enhanced single player adventures along with multiplayer missions.
- Developed by KOEI’s award-winning team, Omega Force.
The Awakening Gauge
The Awakening gauge replaces the Musou gauge. When the player attacks or is hit, the Awakening gauge will fill up. Once full, the player can summon an ‘Awakening.’ Unlike the Musou, the Awakening is not an attack, but rather it causes a dramatic improvement to the character’s various abilities. The character’s appearance will also change during this Awakened state.
Customization with “Mugen” and “Sengyoku” Items
Each character will be equipped with two weapons: a Main Weapon and a Sub-Weapon. Players will be able to power up their weapons using special items called ‘Sengyoku.’ Another group of special items called ‘Mugen’ will allow players to radically improve their fighting abilities and perform special actions including ’super jumps’ and teleportation. Mugen and Sengyoku items are just another way the game will change the way players experience the Dynasty Warriors universe.
Downloadable Content
Using the PlayStation Portable system’s wireless ad-hoc mode, friends can gather together not only to go on quests, but also to download and exchange new adventures and rare items.

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce is produced by Keniichi Ogasawara. Ogasawara-san served as the director for the critically acclaimed Bladestorm: The Hundred Years’ War. |
Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce CustomerReview
Having been a loyal fan of Dynasty Warriors all the way from #2 to the cesspool of crap that was DW6, the endless repetition has been gnawing on me for awhile and I decided to quit buying titles after 6. Then I heard of Strikeforce, which truly sounded like it brought something new to the series, and thank god, it actually does. I’m going to assume most people checking out this title have played a DW game before, so I’m going to focus on the improvements/differences of this particular version rather than give you a ground-up review.
Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce will be very familiar to seasoned DW players in terms of the combat, but Koei finally added some neat twists to spice things up. For one, you can fly (after acquiring a certain ability) and execute cool combos and carry on extended battles in the air, which is really cool. There is now also a dash move which allows you to quickly charge up to enemies to begin attacking or dodge enemy strikes, and a new targeting system that lets you lock onto enemies and see how effective your currently equipped weapon is against the enemy you are targeting (you are allowed to choose two different weapons to equip from a very impressive list) and these weapons can be changed instantly in combat by pressing a button. You can also carry an inventory of various items such as life-giving meatbuns to use whenever necessary instead of having to run around hunting for them on the battlefield.
Most exciting for me is the coop. Strikeforce supports up to 4 players via wireless Ad Hoc (or local) networking. With your buddies, you begin in a city with merchants and blacksmiths and the like from which you can forge various weapons/items or buy upgrades to your abilities. Then you can go to a message board in the city to accept various quests, both optional and the main “battlefield” quests to earn money and items. If you’re playing with friends, you can play special VS quests which pit you against your friends in really exciting arenas.
The last thing of mention in DW Strikeforce is the boss battles. If you’ve been looking at screenshots, you’ve probably seen the big fire-breathing tiger that serves as the boss of the Hu Lao Gate battle (along with Lu Bu, who rides atop his head). The Hu Lao Gate battle, for instance, allows you to scale the boss and fight Lu Bu atop it’s back or high up in arial combat, which is really intense.
Overall, I was very pleased with Strikeforce for all of it’s new additions, and the game is particurarly fun in coop. If you’ve got buddies with PSPs I would highly recommend you convince them to buy this and begin a coop game.
