 Musou Orochi ( Orochi Warriors )
I'm surprised I haven't heard of this game until recently.
In short, Orochi Warriors is a game that combines characters from Koei's Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. In total there's 77 officers to choose from plus two new special characters.
One of the new features is that you don't just choose one character, but three. Yep, you make a team of three officers that you can switch on the fly during battle.
I'm told that the Musou/Story mode is similiar to the faction based progression of Dynasty Warriors 4. However, Free Mode is still available which gives you the choice of using any characters for any stage. Multiplayer is also available, but player 2 is required to have the same three characters as player 1.
The Japanese release was about three months ago and a U.S. release had been planned sometime this year. I purchased it about two days ago from playasia and will be receiving it shortly.
Here's my top three characters
1. Jhen-Ji
2. Okuni
3. Ina |
