another game

this time i am going to recommend you play a game which is actually a part of a massive series. basically its the same game being remade every so many years with new features added with each release. i am talking about Koei's Dynasty Warriors. the game actually tells the history of the 3 kingdoms period of ancient china. i the game you play as anywhere from 20 to 50 different characters, each with their own unique weapons and move sets. each character in the game actually existed in Chinese history. as you control these generals of the kingdoms of Wu, Shu and Wei, you take on literally thousands of enemies. every so often you will run across a opposing general and a decent fight will ensue. one thing to know before playing this game is that unless you are playing on easy, the first time you run into Lu Bu, RUN! he is know in history to be the most powerful man in that period, so his ingame character can take you down to dead in just a single combo.

This is him

apart from just using standard attacks to get you across the maps to your ultimate goal, you have musou attacks. these are also unique to each character based on their characteristics. for the big guy you see above he swings his weapon, which is a pike in a giant X in front of him multiple times cutting everyone that gets caught to shreds. as i have said, this game has been remade multiple times. the current title is number 7, which is really somewhere near the 15th game made because they usually release 2 spinoffs based in the version that was just released. so if you want to feel like a god on the battle field, cutting down entire armies single handedly, pick up dynasty warriors. who knows, you might just learn a little history along the way.

  8. That character design is interesting, even though he's supposed to be chinese, he is kind of dressed like a turkish Janissary. Very cool game though, I love dynasty warriors.
