More Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce media than you can shake a Dragon Sword at

by JC Fletcher on Jan 7th 2010 2:45AM

If you only play games with Ryu Hayabusa in them, then Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce is likely to be your first experience with Koei's historical-ish brawler franchise. If you only play games with the ancient Chinese ruler Fu Xi in them, however, you're likely to be much better versed in the series. In either case, there's a Strikeforce for you: as reported, Fu Xi (and other characters from the Warriors Orochi series) appear in the Xbox 360 version, and Ryu in the PS3 version, both with exclusive missions that grant you the use of their "signature weapon" when completed.

New galleries give you a look at Fu Xi and the extra-beefy crossover ninja. And a new trailer (above) does what it can to get you pumped about Strikeforce, the Dynasty Warriors game with not only characters from other franchises, but giant tigers in it!

Why is Ryu in the PS3 version??? Why not 360 version too?

DLC add on for both systems, I can TASTE it.

Dynasty Warriors was one of the first games I ever bought on the PS2 and I loved the shit out of it. The other day, my sister went out and picked up one of the newer additions to the series and it looked like the exact same freaking game, graphics and all. I still had fun with it, for what it was, but Jesus, is Koei really on that much of a shoestring budget that they can't even get rid of distance fog? How about tweaking the AI so that when two opposing soldiers meet up, they just don't stand and stare at each other for several minutes? I don't really all that much for what they're adding in Strikeforce so far, hopefully it's just more than bells and whistles and more actual changes to the gameplay.

Well said, I don't really all that much for what they're adding, either!

When I heard Tecmo and Koei got together, i was kind of hoping their first joint cameo appearance would feature the DoA girls in Dynasty Warriors... =/ I guess Ryu will suffice.

Maybe they're planning a Dynasty Warriors Extreme Volleyball game.

4 player online co-op sounds awesome. I want this game so badly!

This game was made for Co Op. Its partially why it did so badly on the PSP. It had no online! With online it should do better.

My main gripe with this game on psp was, that I had finished everything within the span of a few days, on my own.

Online mode yay, but there's only so many times you can replay the same missions which are boring because you're overpowered until they throw three transformed officers at you at the same time.

I'll get it, eventually, though not worth full-price, even with the Orochi warriors additions.

I downloaded the demo off of the Japanese PSN store, and for what I can tell, it's a clone of Monster Hunter but it's Dynasty Warriors. The only reason I show interest in this game is because I'm a monster hunter fan however in Japan, Monster Hunter is the biggest thing since Godzilla, and to top it off, NamcoBandai and SquareEnix are trying to use the same gameplay style for there upcoming games, God Eater, and Final Fantasy XIV Online. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, but is it just me or I'm noticing a weird trend in Japan where RPGs are turning into Monster Hunter clones left and right?

Color me excited.

Can I do holds and submissions in this game?

Oh I see what you did there

Who the hell keeps buying this crap???

Hahaha, I thought that was an odd typo and then it occurred to me to my post.

... :p
