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 story begins with the Serpent King Orochi kidnapping the warriors of Dynasty and Samurai Warriors, but he was eventually defeated. However, his return is not long-lived as former officers form their own armies and a mysterious group brings him back from the netherworld. This 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 the other Dynasty and Samurai games, with unlockable characters, upgradable weapons, and multiple stages to play through. The team mate system from the previous Orochi game also returns, allowing you to rotate between three different warriors. You can choose these three warriors from over 90 playable characters and use them to battle your way through.
New features in this version include Dream Mode, which tells even more of Orochi 's story, and new unlockable characters and weapons not seen before in the series. The North American release also contains 10 additional Dream Mode stages and two additional characters, Benkei and San Zang from Musou Orochi Z , a Japanese Only PlayStation 3 exclusive.
Warriors Orochi 2 was released on September 23rd, 2008 for the Playstation 2 console.
