Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce

Dynasty Warriors is one of Japan’s biggest video game franchises.

The first game arrived in 1997 as a spin-off to Koei’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and has spawned over 20 sequels and ten spin-off titles, selling nine million copies on the way.

Dynasty Warriors has developed a cult following in the UK too, and it is both this fanbase, as well as action lovers, that Koei is targeting with upcoming PSP title: Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce.

“We believe Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce is the first next-generation PSP title,” says Koei’s PR and marketing manager Mikey Foley.

“The title is something for gamers to get excited about; it really shows off the PSP’s advantages, with cutting edge graphics, real old-school depth and ad-hoc multiplay for four players. The development budget for the game is comparable to our next-gen console titles, so all the lavish CG and intricate detail you would expect of a big budget game is here. It’s a great reason for gamers to get out their PSPs again or invest in one for the first time.”
