There's a classic piece of ancient Chinese literature about this period called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so the story of this and all the other Dynasty Warriors games is indeed deeply rooted in historical fact. You start the campaign (or "musou") mode with one of three factions-Wu, Wei, or Shu-and engage in a series of branching battles that chronicle the turmoil that engulfed China during the latter Han. The gameplay in Dynasty Warriors 4 will be extremely familiar to anyone who's played the previous entries in the series.ĭynasty Warriors still takes place in ancient China, beginning with the downfall of the Han dynasty. But for the casual gamers who are on the fence about whether or not to try yet another Dynasty Warriors game, the blatant uniformity of the fourth installment will probably cause them to pass on it. True, the Dynasty Warriors games have met with commercial success, both in Japan and North America, so clearly a lot of players are into this tried-and-true, hack-and-slash formula.
The fourth entry in Koei's action-packed Dynasty Warriors series presents an interesting question: How many times can a company revisit the same gameplay concept, adding just enough features to please hard-core fans, and still get away with selling it as an entirely new game? With Dynasty Warriors 4, Koei is walking a fine line between updating a venerable franchise with valuable new features and simply milking a cash cow.
