About Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce For PSP
Though not everyone knows this, the Dynasty Warriors franchise originally debuted on the Playstation in 1997, and was applauded for it's gritty, weapon based combat, where only a handful of characters took on armies of people in intense battles. Since then, several sequels have been released on the PS2, the Xbox, one on the Gameboy Advance, the DS, the PSP, and several more sequels and spinoffs for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Though the franchise has expanded much in terms of content over the years, it has expanded little in terms of gameplay, though this is merely a testament to the fact that is the reason Dynasty Warriors is so successful; there is nothing else quite like it.
Having said that, a new multiplayer oriented Dynasty Warriors installment has been in development for the PSP for some time now and is scheduled for a February release in Japan; Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce. Though it may at first appear to be just another Dynasty Warriors game, some very specific adjustments have been made. While in earlier iterations the style was that of a large scale beat-em-up between armies, in Strikeforce you are but a small team of warriors that must cooperate together and carefully strategize each other's movements in order to defeat their foes and complete each mission.
Don't worry though; it's definitely still Dynasty Warriors. When you come to complete your mission objective, massive waves of foes will come to stop you, so the beat-em-up element is still there, and actually more intense then ever before. Also, challenging boss battles await, where every character on your team must work together to overcome the enemy.
One element that has been pretty steadfast in the Dynasty Warriors franchise is that each character has had his or her own specific weapon he specializes in. The same is true in Strikeforce, only characters specialize in certain weapon types, and you can equip whichever weapon you desire to a character, regardless of what they specialize in. The more you fight with your characters, the more powerful they become. And as they level up, so will your village, and more weapons, items, and accessories will become available.
One of the big ideas behind Strikeforce was strategic cooperative play, and how it would enhance what is usually button mashing gameplay. Not only will Strikeforce apparently have online play, but new downloadable content will soon be available, including new quests, items, etc. With how it's turning out, it seems that Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce may be something that no Dynasty Warriors fans or PSP owner will want to pass up when it hits North America this March 24th.
