Warriors Orochi 2 is the sequel to Warriors Orochi , a game that combines characters from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors games into a new unique storyline.
The Serpent King Orochi kidnapped the warriors of Dynasty and Samurai Warriors, but was eventually defeated. However, peace was short-lived as former officers banded together to form their own armies, and a mysterious group appeared to bring Orochi back from the netherworld. The game picks up where Warriors Orochi left off, pitting the warriors of Wu, Shu, Wei against these foes and their armies.
The gameplay is similar to other Dynasty and Samurai games, with unlockable characters, upgradable weapons, and multiple stages to play through. The team mate system returns, allowing you to rotate between three different warriors from over 90 playable characters.
New features include Dream Mode, which tells Orochi's story in more detail, and new unlockable characters and weapons not seen before in the series. The North American release of Warriors Orochi 2 contains 10 additional Dream Mode stages and two additional characters, Benkei and San Zang from Musou Orochi Z , a Japanese Only Playstation 3 exclusive.
