Combining the action 1 against 1,000’s DYNASTY WARRIORS with the addition of tactical elements, DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires drag players on a quest to conquer ancient China by combining the use of strategy and the sword. Battles have radically changed from previous titles in the series thanks to the new feature: “Storming the Castle”. With areas around castles now transformed into battlefields, skirmishes evolve into “Storming the Castle” encounters, with players battling to take control of the castle. Players will also be able to use “Siege Battles with Troops” to invade the enemy base, using siege weapons and instructing troops during battle. Once players break down an enemy gate, they will enter a “Decisive Battle” and can claim victory after defeating the commander. Enemy officers will rejoin the battlefield for one last fierce stand and players will have a chance to defeat and capture them.
Another element that will greatly influence the battle will be the “Secret Plans”. The “Secret Plans” selected in the battle preparation phase will now be activated as missions during the battles, with each “Secret Plan” having its own conditions for success and failure. Once the conditions for success are met, favorable effects will be activated on allies including “capture surrounding bases”, “defeat messengers”, “escort the engineers” and more. Each battle is highlighted by attack and defense focused on how to activate “Secret Plans”, providing a highly strategic battle experience. Conversely, enemies can also run “Secret Plans”. By preventing the enemy’s “Secret Plans”, players will gain an advantage in battle.
Army affinity will also play a key role in DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires, with the unit of each officer assigned a military unit type as the new officer characteristic. All three units will have their strengths and weaknesses: Infantry
In addition to the battle, political intrigues and the popular home system will also be included in the Empires series. Following the kingdom’s goals, set once every six months, the kingdom a player belongs to strives to unify China. Each month, players will be able to issue commands to search for new officers to join the kingdom, purchase arrows and items, and execute a variety of military, economic and diplomatic commands depending on the player’s location.
