Dynasty Warriors on the PlayStation Portable brings Koei's popular series to handheld gamers for the first time. As an officer in one of three Chinese armies - Wei, Wu, or Shu - you'll fight and kill thousands of soldiers in epic battles across multiple battlefields. The game features two main modes: the campaign "Musou" mode and the single-battle "Free" mode, which allows for training and practice.
The gameplay involves navigating a map split into numerous areas, each with its own unique challenges and enemies to defeat. As you progress through the stages, you'll need to eliminate enemy squads to liberate areas and earn bonuses such as increased supplies time. Characters will level up as they gain experience points, unlocking new abilities and items.
A new feature in this PSP version is the bodyguard system, which allows your second officer to provide you with special items or abilities. This adds a new layer of strategy to the gameplay, as you'll need to manage your officer's resources carefully to maximize their benefits.
